| Thanks :) I set things up again on the new VM manually. I have a runbook for it, usually takes me 30 mins or less. To not have any downtime I keep the old VM up and attach a new public IP to the new VM. I then update the DNS records and after a while when the new IP is mapped to my domain I then stop the old VM. Costs: Managed Mongodb cluster: $9 but I share it between multiple side projects so let's say $3 API health checks - free! I use digital ocean and fresh ping Service Desk - free! I use Jira DNS: Usually $0.3 DB backups: within the free tier on both cloud providers. I have it set to only keep the last x backups so this should always be free Cron job to run the backup: I have a serverless function for this, still within the free tier SSL cert - free because I use let's encrypt Docker image storage costs: <$1 Total ~$9.5 |
