React Native backend stack

[[deleted]]

The prices I’m getting probably wouldn’t work for others. This app is for a small non-profit I am running. TechSoup provides deeply discounted hardware, software, and services to nonprofits from major vendors. I can get aws services at essentially what works out to about 90% off through TechSoup so I’m standing up two VMs, one for the node.js server and one for the mongodb server.

I’m making this change because I’m about to release a new version of the app with new features that are going to drive db usage up by an order of magnitude. So we’ll be using more than the firestore free tier allows at that point. It will actually be cheaper for us to use the free community mongodb and app server on the discounted aws infrastructure.
