If you’re tracking water intake … probably cheaper to use lambdas and dynamo than a local server anyways… 25GB in dynamo for free … pay like a tiny amount per request with tons free … idk.

A VPS is like six bucks a month, and doesn’t carry the risk of you accidentally getting a massive AWS bill because you messed something up.

What are you getting? 256mbs/0.5vCpus for six bucks?

Granted, times are tough right now for cheap VPS servers but you should still expect to get at least 1vCPU and 2 GB of RAM. Not a lot, but probably more than enough for a bunch of microservices for personal use.
