+
+# What and Why
+
+
+For some  time now I've been trying my best to get away from using AWS
+for my infrastructure due to the constantly rising price of everything.
+
+
+## Main causes for higher cost
+
+* Fargate
+
+This one is mostly my own fault lmao since Fargate ( without an application load
+balancer ) is actually not that bad in terms of pricing. The issue comes in
+if you are trying to host a variety of services like myself on one host.
+Services which, are only ever really used for personal and singular use.
+
+Recall that with fargate we are paying for things on a core count and if you
+containize everything this effectively means you are paying per container
+more/less. Couple this with lots of contains and your pricing starts to
+get really expensive really fast.
+
+* Application Load Balancer
+
+These are just expensive for small projects what else can I say...
+I wouldn't suggest hosting personal sites behind one of these basically ever.
+
+* Scaling
+
+If you seriously need an ALB to sit in front of lots of microservices then
+you're probably dealing with either an interesting project or just a need
+to handle a lot of traffic. After a while I didn't really want a web server
+to be my "interesting project" since this ended up eating way more of my time
+than I would have ever liked it to...
+
+
+
+# Why Vultr
+
+shit's cheap yo...
+
+10$ - 20$ roughly for a bare minimum Kubernetes cluster or about 10$ per
+host as I'm doing now. Provision hosts with Terraform then configure with
+Ansible and you have a somewhat reasonable infrastructure for hosting
+personal projects.
+
+## What Do I host now?
+
+* shockrah.xyz
+* git.shockrah.xyz <-- Gitea instance
+* temper.tv <-- vr/funsies blog
+
+Basically I'm hosting more stuff more effectively and it's an infrastructure
+that is ""(([[{{platform agnostic}}]]""given its all Terraform anyway and
+Ansible can be used basically anywhere there's a host.
