How much did this cost in engineering time and how much will it cost to maintain? How about when you need to add a new feature? Seems like you saved roughly 1.5k per month which pays for a couple days of engineering time (ignoring product,mgmt and costs related to maintaining the software)

No idea how many hours to build, but I maintain something similar, (different stack though) and its so trivial I don't even count the hours, so it's probably about 1/2 a day to maintain that every 3 months?

Even if you needed to invent a new feature, you could invent a months worth of features every year and still save money.

Keep components up to date & dealing with schema changes will easily take more than a half day every 3 months.

I know this is off the topic of the actual post but I'm confused as to why I've been downvoted, seems other people have since made similar comments but my comment has been downvoted. Help me out here, why?
