   So now it’s around 1 month since we start to maintain Pawoo.net . I want to be more transparent on the cost.
   Screenshot is the cost of AWS + CDN for pawoo (not including mstdn.jp / mastodon.cloud which are not using aws and using diff CDN).
   There are lots of optimization we can do but for now the cost for all 3 instance is around 45k$ (just rough estimates).
   The payroll of maintainers and devs for app/backend is covered by our other businesses so not gonna calculate here. (Est 4 full time)

     The status of Pawoo is very different from other instance since it’s involved with many legacy technologies and it will take longer to make all these compatible. Other instance should cost less. Also aws is not good for mid/small instance, but it’s just stable for big instances (for now it’s adding risk to migrate to others for Pawoo); in the end we hope to get rid of aws and go more decentralized.
