AWS is super expensive. Switch to another cloud provider.

For example : Scaleway, OVH, or Hetzner.

Can confirm this. Personally I wanted to switch to AWS from Scaleway because one of the regions was closer to the customers. No way I could justify the costs. With some load balancers and API access, we were able to scale horizontally without a problem.

Are you using Postgres by chance? If so, I'd love to hear about how you deployed it (struggling to figure out a performant, HA setup!)

Yes absolutely. This is the right fit for 95% of customers.
