Thanks Ben, this project caught my eye a few days ago.
What does your monthly AWS costs (to run Webiny) look like?

Hi JR, I haven't got any info since I don't have a major application in production, just working on a simple blogging site ... I see you've joined the Slack channel, I'm sure if you ask there someone will likely have some figures they could share.

Thanks Ben, I'll ask around in the Slack channel. Curious though, what kind of cost is your simple blogging site incurring?

I don't think it's useful for just a simple blog, then it's a bit overkill, especially after the first year...

I did a cost estimate for v5 and Elastic search and Cloud Watch stand out:
calculator.aws/#/estimate

But they are working to make it pluggable. They also use Pulumi so it's very interesting.

Hi Goran! You might be interested to know they now have a DynamoDB-only version which means no elasticSearch. I have finally received charges from AWS for the past 3 months, each time the bill was below $1.00 US.
