Loved the story format! It keeps the article engaging :)

A question though - won't the pre-launch stack be enough for steps 1-3? I'm doing a small project myself, and we indeed chose Amplify, Lambda and RDS. What's the advantages of an EC2 instance versus Lambdas? Cost savings?

Lambdas are billed based on the execution time. So if you have infrequent and short execution time, lambdas are a good fit.

But if you have long running and CPU intensive execution, EC2 might be cheaper. Again, it depends on the use case.

It would be interesting to know more about your side project. It's pretty cool that you've something.

Thanks!

ItтАЩs the first time IтАЩm playing with serverless, so there are interesting lessons. Up until now I only used k8s (on GCP), with microservices.

Hopefully IтАЩll reach the milestones you wrote about and I will gladly share my experience :)
