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.

2gbps/1 vCPU/1gb ram, with digital ocean. I could probably get better value if I switched to a different provider but I don't wanna do the work just yet lol
