Operational Cost

Cost

Running a service like this is not for free, so here is a small list of the expenses the whole thing is running.

Note: At the time of writing there is no traffic, so there will be an update

• Domain Name: 15€/year = 15/12 = 1.5€/month
• App Store Fees: 90€/year = 90/12 = 7.5€/month
• Scaleway Secret Manager = 4.8€/year = 2*0.2€/month (dev and prod) + additional call cost not yet known.
• Scaleway Function Cost = ???€/year = ???€/month
• Scaleway E-Mail Cost = ???/year = ???/month
• Originstamp Cost = ???/year = ???/month
• Cabin Analytics = 19**$**/year = 1.58 $/month (currently free tier)
• Telemetry Deck = ???/year = ???/month (not yet imlpemented)
• Captcha Service = 0€/year = 0€/month (for now)

Approx total cost: around 9€

Unit costs

Costs per unit of certain services

• Scaleway TEM: 1000 E-Mails = 0.25€
• Scaleway Serverless: 100ms = 0.000000300€
• Originstamp Timestamps: 100 Timestamps = 9.90€

NOTE: This excludes the time I've spent on the project.

For the future

If this project gets reasonable traffic, there will be some changes, e.g. switching from functions to dedicated VPNS and maybe the integration of a database for some additional operations like blocking, etc. which will change this table
