We cut our AWS bill by 70%

My company just finished integrating our technology into MySQL and we're doing a PostgreSQL integration next. We're trying to attack the cloud TCO onslaught head on with our technology. I'm assuming you guys are running a PostgreSQL (RDS) ElasticSearch backend stack? Or MySQL ElasticSearch? If you guys are using MySQL I'd love to see how low we can get your bill before Bezos runs out of rocket fuel. LMK

Hey everyone. Author here.

There's been some recent posts on HN around this topic, which I've commented on to share what we've learned.

A few people suggested I convert it into a blog post to provide more detail. Open to any thoughts, or suggestions for further improvements / optimizations.
