Thank you for your reply! I will try a trial version :-)

To give you some background: I'm developing a scoring system for an outdoor game that is played mostly during the summer months. There are at most 20-30 concurrent users. Most of the year, the app will have very low traffic (admin tasks). Even when it's used, it will be in MByte range, not GByte.

Any ballpark guesses about the nr of "cloudlets" and the like?
I'm talking about a Spring Boot application with a Postgres db, both hosted on Jelastic.

A rough estimation: 1-2 cloudlets for Spring Boot and 2-4 cloudlets for Postgres at idle stage. But it really depends how efficient your app is, so it's better to deploy and check the cost

Also please take a look at the following articles
