I want to love this. I think we desperately need the "new heroku" and this touches on that.

BUT, it takes 24 separate commands to launch a "quick start" rails app. Hopefully this is just a alpha/beta experience, and the idea is get these going a little easier?

And once I launch it, what AWS resources are being used? How much should I expect this quick start rails app to cost me? Having a hard time figuring that out.

Sure, this is only the start. Internally we have a definition file; the CLI is, so to say, the fancy editor for it. We plan to open up this definition in a JSON or YAML file.

Regarding the AWS Resources being used: The cost estimation feature is on the roadmap, telling you how much exactly one Project costs. And showing you in advance how much more changes will cost.

Using SetOps starts with base costs since we need at least one EC2 instance + database running and some other services. The base costs are ~130$, including your first apps. But launching your first 10 containers doesn't bring many additional costs, so running some apps are quite cost-efficient.

Someone else already stated here that something is missing in the docs regarding the services provisioned in AWS. We will deliver that! For now, I can show you this slide from the internal pitch deck: https://static-media.setops.co/infra/aws-components.png
