True, but you also get PostgreSQL instead of Mongo, which is easily worth another 120mb.

I’m not sure what you mean by backend though? You need that regardless right?

I'm front-end, so no. not really. just a few lambda here and there when the authorizations are too complex. not building big apps though

Can’t go directly from frontend to mongo? Unless you want to publically expose your instance.
