How we got our AWS bill to around 2% of revenue

Pretty interesting, I didn't realize the pricing was the same and you get bandwidth.

This bandwidth pricing is very interesting because if you have apps that ship a lot of bytes, you can just run like haproxy on lightsail and get those bytes very very cheap instead of paying standard egress data pricing at like 9 cents per gig...

I just asked the same question https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23671787 before I saw your comment.

Does this work? It seems like using lightsail is a way to drastically reduce egress data pricing??? It's like a free lunch, what's the catch?

Only thing I can think of is if they charge you egress out of a vpc to lightsail or something - would like to know if anyone has tried this.
