Cost-Optimize AWS Resources #3491

Open shervine opened 1 week ago

shervine commented 1 week ago

Review current resource sizes in AWS and recommend optimizations to ensure efficiency and performance.

This also includes Cost Management: Manage our reserved instances to optimize costs effectively.

@shervine, I need access to the billing page to view the exact AWS resources we're using. Alternatively, could you provide a list of the AWS resources we’re currently using here?

shervine commented 1 week ago

@agustinfarinadev we currently have 1x EC2 and 1x RDS instance.

The question is what is the right size for each instance considering the server load in the last several months?

Can we get away with smaller instances?

Once we determine the right instance size, we can then ensure to get reserved instances for those sizes.

agustinfarinadev commented 1 week ago

@shervine , we can usually manage with smaller instances once we've enabled the machines to scale horizontally effectively.
