Notes
The most important thing of note is the cost reductions going forward – I have canceled the separate Elasticsearch server and moved it to the main application server which results in a lowering of our Linode expense. Furthermore, I have cancelled Postmark and moved transactional email service back to AWS SES which costs only a few cents at most a month. I was also able to bring down the monthly cost of Bunny.net down to $10/month from $25/month.
The full effects of these cost reductions will take effect next month and should result in us being in the positive but just barely. I am continuing to look into what other expenses we can lower/remove to bring down expenses even further.
