Have you been able to quantify the exact pricing per month?
From the looks of the git repo it's at least 65 cents per month but then there's a number of other services with no price reference.
What would you estimate it would cost per month to host a blog that gets 50 comments per month and what would the cost look like at the end of the year given costs would rise over time due to needing to store more info.
For argument's sake, let's assume no AWS free tier.
I don't have "real life" numbers yet, since I just set it up yesterday. I've used up my free tier, so I should be able to get real numbers from Cost Explorer. I'm not sure if everything is tagged nicely for that.
On paper, it should cost under a dollar per month. The main cost is just the DynamoDB instance. I don't think it's going to consume much S3 storage.
I guess if your blog has a lot of traffic, the network transfer might add up -- but it's just little JSON files.
The numbers might be skewed upwards a bit because somebody posted a gigantic blob for one of the comments to test if I had implemented a limit on the length (I hadn't).
Thanks for the solid numbers based on real data. At the time of this posting there's 103 comments too which IMO seems waaaaay high given 8k visitors due to the nature of the post.
Hard to say for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if a normal blog received 5-6 comments per 10,000 views.
