I am building remiind.cc, random email reminder for your ideas.
All my tech stack is in AWS, this is my cost:
Around $5 / month.
To be clear, remiind.cc has < 100 users, and it's a simple web app. All I want to say is, it's cheap to start a SaaS.
This is my tech stack
Frontend:
reactjs as framework;
S3 to host static files;
CloudFront as CDN;
Route53 for domain name;
Backend:
Lambda functions + API Gateway for API and cron jobs;
- I use claudiajs to build and deploy the API;
DynamoDB for data storage;
S3 for file storage;
loops.so for email (I am still on the free plan).
I hope to pay more to AWS and loops, which means I will also earn more :)
