So move out to a cloud that doesn’t charge egress.

Unless of course you went all in on IAM, Lambda, API gateway etc etc instead of just running software on Linux.

In which case you’ll need to stay.

As far as AWS 'koolaid' goes, you picked the stuff that's actually pretty useful and sensible to use. (But also fairly portable anyway? The big ones at least have pretty comparable solutions.)

Tbh,I don't miss a lot from AWS, but IAM is pretty cool for auth between services and I have not found a comparable on premise solution
