“We soon realized that AWS Is not cheap, and so we had to be clever to reduce our cost as much as possible. … Do as many experiments as you can before you commit on using beanstalk or other AWS features.
- Keep future state in mind. Think through what comes next, and if that is technically possible to do so.
- Always factor in cost in terms of scaling.
- We learned a valuable lesson when we wanted to go multi-region, because then we realized many things needs to change in code. So if you plan on using this a lot, factor multiple regions.”
