I don't get why anyone hosts Servers running 24/7 on AWS/GCloud/Azure. The pricing is just outrageous. Everyone else will be cheaper
The only advantage would come if you could rewrite lemmy to be serverless
I mean I'm sure Lemmy's server process is stateless, I'm sure it could use CloudRun/ECS pretty efficiently and that wouldn't really require a rewrite (unless the process is stateful for some reason)
It’s possible to run Lemmy on kubernetes so I assume you could on ecs as well. I’m pretty sure the Postgres db manages state and not the process.
