Covering costs (and then some)

MailSlurp is a one-man operation with big infrastructure needs. It allows you to send and receive unlimited emails via REST. This meant I needed a lot of AWS services. These became pretty expensive. I was able to reduce costs drastically by migrating to Kubernetes managed by KOPS. I also migrated away from DynamoDB to RDS Postgres. Monthly subscriptions now cover expenses!
