AWS, Amplify, firebase, Coolify on Hetzner. Diversified portfolio...

Why not both? Kick off one or many instances of Claude code and then open up the same repo in your preferred IDE to monitor progress and make tweaks as needed.

Even for those not sold on a "vibe" coding approach, they should look into kiro just for the agent hooks feature. Saves loads of time on maintaining things like docs and tests, which overall can make a project better and more polished.

I will keep building with it and evaluating, but cursor should be worried about my subscription...

I like Amplify because it makes making it easier than ever to add authentication and so many other AWS features to your application.

Sharing it incase some others can use it as a solid start as well.

Considering the large number of items, I would have to be careful with my secondary indexes to avoid scanning large amounts of the table for food item searches. It's good to have a baseline now though as I continue searching...

Step 4: Storage costs work out to about (58 GB x 0.25 USD) = 14.50 USD / month
Step 5: Data import cost if loaded from S3 upload (58 GB per table x 0.15 USD) = 8.70 USD
Step 6: Estimated read and writes... TBD

Step 1: Download their entire database (yes, you can just... download it all!)
Step 2: Unzip the .jsonl file where each line = one food entry
Step 3: Count the lines and get the size of the data

It should probably be pretty straightforward as what the practical costs for the service is per unit of usage. You don't want to be asking users to decode a mess of cost variables like AWS.

How about usage (metered) billing, where users pay for exactly what they use on a monthly cycle? Never implemented it myself, but Stripe seems to support it.

And it's all automated with GitHub actions to run the cypress tests on a new pull request to prod.

I have a manufacturing application that deals with real time quality data. For automated testing I use cypress and an AWS lambda function API endpoint. The cypress test sequence starts off by hitting the endpoint to reset/seed the test database prior to running the test.
