Thankfully, I was aware that it most likely won't be paying the bills, and considering I've made 35€ from it in the past year and a half, I guess I was right :-)
I've made it for myself (and opened it for the rest of the world if they need it), but I'm my most demanding customer, that's probably why I expected nothing less than 100% uptime since I launched it.
And I've managed to do that, without breaking the bank.
I don't know how my tone sounds (I'm not native), I'm just trying to emphasize that with the right tools, you don't need a shiny cloud for really good uptime.
