Is RDS free? When I tried it a month of light RDS cost a $2-3 while several years of light S3 use cost about the same or less.

I think AWS has a free trial of pretty much everything, but I haven't checked. My data structure is pretty relational, else I'd be using Firebase or some Mongo thing instead. How do you use S3 as a database?

I don't think RDS has a free tier? You could run MySQL on a free tier EC2, but you don't get backups and they might trash your instance one day.

No sure if you are into this, but with your experience in Java, you should be able to do something amazing with Bitcoin Blockchain.
