ive purposefully stood up my instance in a production, scalable environment.

i make my costs public on the https://moist.catsweat.com/faq page.

currently running ~1.60/day = 50$/month…

so far about $0.50/per user/month or $1.25/active user/month which should move downward until i hit resource limits and have to scale infrastructure.
