Now that we've discussed why I've chosen the matrix ecosystem, it's time to elaborate on how I host everything.
Happy new years!
One of my personal goals is to secure the data of me and my community from data scraping as much as I can. I’ve also learned a ton from blog posts on how to host software, and it’s time I contribute back.
So, welcome to my series on how I host my services with as little dependency on US-based services as I can.
I’d love feedback on my writing so I can learn and improve as well!
That was a nice clean read great job. My first reaction was $85 is a hell of a lot of money (you can stand up and absolute monster server in some places for that) but then I saw your running managed database and that scans.

100% not a cost optimized way to host, but much more about balancing cost vs manual maintenance.
Thanks!
Yeah I host stuff for my job. And I don’t host all of my data stores. (I do have 150 reddis servers sitting around now)
If $85 fits comfortably in your budget and helps you sleep at night I certainly wouldn’t criticize you for doing it.
