💰 Current Infrastructure Cost
Total: ~$36/month Optimized for low traffic with production-grade architecture
🎯 Right-Sized for the Use Case
This portfolio site uses static hosting for the frontend because it's pre-rendered content that doesn't need server-side computation. No point paying for containers to serve HTML files.
The backend runs on minimal Fargate resources (0.25 vCPU, 512MB) because the pixel grid demo handles a few concurrent users. Scaling up would be a config change.
📈 Same Skills, Any Scale
| Scenario | Architecture Changes | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|
| ● This site (demo) | S3 + single Fargate task | ~$36/mo |
| ● Startup SaaS | + RDS, ElastiCache, multi-AZ | $200-500/mo |
| ● Mid-scale platform | + Auto-scaling, read replicas, SQS | $2-10k/mo |
| ● Enterprise | + Multi-region, dedicated hosts, WAF | $50k+/mo |
💡 The Cloud Advantage
Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP let you start small and scale infinitely. The same skills that built this $36/month demo apply to building a $50k/month enterprise system:
- ✓Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK)
- ✓CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline)
- ✓Container orchestration (ECS, EKS)
- ✓Cost monitoring (CloudWatch, Cost Explorer)
- ✓Auto-scaling policies
- ✓Security best practices (IAM, VPC)
Built to demonstrate real-world cloud architecture patterns, not just "hello world" deployments.
