Spring Boot project using only AWS free tier

Question

AWS has a list of free tier (non-expiring offers) here. I wonder if it is enough to deploy a small(less than 1 Gb in total) Spring Boot(+ mongo/postgres) hobby project using ONLY these features.

Answer 1

Yes, You can deploy your project on AWS infrastructure in free tier with above requirement.

• For hosting the application you can use EC2
• For relational db you can use RDS service with postgres.
• AWS URLs are very big and complex. So to access your application from AWS infrastructure, You need to use Route 53 service to map it some nice domain name.

Note: If you want to do it for development purpose only, then you can skip the route 53 part.

Answer 2

It is possible to do so, but free tier for EC2 instances that you need to run spring boot application (and mongo/postgres that you install manually on that instance) does expire after 12 months.
