The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
I run a one-person SaaS company supporting three products. One is an iOS and Android all-local storage app so that costs me nothing to run. I have two projects running on Django sharing the same RDS DB. I can support two apps with just a single EC2 each. One runs docker containers. The other I did not dockerize yet. For me, the total costs are about $40/month.  I have looked at Netlify and other “easy options” but they double or more my costs due to their costly basic tiers.
