💰 Cost Optimization

• Spot Instances: Up to 90% savings on GPU instances
• Aurora Serverless: Pay only for database usage
• S3 Intelligent Tiering: Automatic cost optimization
• CloudFront: Reduced bandwidth costs
• Auto Scaling: Scale down during low usage

Estimated Monthly Costs:

• Development: $50-100
• Production (low traffic): $200-400
• Production (high traffic): $800-1500
