I love your drive!! I'm self taught, so excuse me if I can't find the correct terms to use, but I'm lost in that sea of information you mentioned and really need someone to throw me bouy....I'm creating a mobile app in React Native, Managed by Expo. Currently I have a REST API set up and connecting to my MySQL database via localhost. All that is working fine, but I realize I need to host that database somewhere for my mobile app to be actually functional. I signed up for all the free tier services on AWS and have absolutely no clue what services I actually need. Do I need EC2? Obviously I think I need RDS Instance....They sent me in the direction of AWS Amplify which I kinda felt was a little bit overkill for what I needed (but like I really know what I need). The database I connect to doesn't have sensitive data, the app doesn't use sign-ins or passwords, and I only fetch from the database and no posts, can you tell me what services I need or may want? Basically I just need to host my database and have an address with an SSL to plug into my API...I think....Do you think AWS Amplify would be overkill for what I've described? Your input would be so useful!
