Is g6e.xlarge right for you?
What 32 GiB of RAM runs
- ✓ Production API with steady traffic
- ✓ Self-hosted Postgres or Redis
- ✓ Several containers on one host
- ✕ Tiny side projects (you'll overpay)
- ✕ GPU-bound AI workloads
GPU workloads
Built for model inference, fine-tuning small models and video. Check GPU quota before launch: new accounts often start at 0 GPU vCPUs and must request an increase. Turn it off when idle, it burns credits fastest.
x86 compatibility
AMD EPYC 7R13 runs any x86 software unchanged. If your stack supports Arm, the Graviton version is usually around 20% cheaper.
About Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
Among the cheapest regions worldwide and best latency for India.
Moving data between availability zones costs about $0.01/GB each way.
The real bill for a small production setup
The server is rarely the biggest line. A typical setup behind a load balancer in a private network:
About per month$1,697
Load balancer: $0.0239/h plus about $0.40/month in usage for 1 million requests. NAT gateway: $0.056/h plus $0.056/GB processed. Moving data between availability zones adds $0.01/GB each way. Skip the NAT gateway with public subnets or VPC endpoints to save $41/month. Prices for Asia Pacific (Mumbai) from the AWS Price List API (2026-10-19). Both are covered by AWS credits.
Credits expire before you can use them all
$25,000 runs one g6e.xlarge for about 15 months, inside the usual 12 to 24 month expiry. Stop it outside working hours (dev/test) to stretch credits further.
Credits pay on-demand and Spot usage, not upfront Savings Plan or Reserved Instance commitments. Buy commitments only once credits run low.
Database, disk and traffic
Managed database vs running it yourself
A managed PostgreSQL database (RDS db.t4g.medium, single zone, 20 GB) costs about $63.94/month in Asia Pacific (Mumbai).
Running Postgres yourself on a second g6e.xlarge costs about $1,633/month, but you handle backups, upgrades and failover.
Both are paid by AWS credits. Upfront fees for reserved databases are not.
Sending 1 TB a month to users
Straight from the server: about $98.37/month ($0.1093/GB after the first 100 GB).
Through CloudFront: $0. Server-to-CloudFront traffic is free and the first 1 TB out each month is free (then $0.109/GB for India edges).
RDS, CloudFront and transfer prices from the AWS Price List API; VPS prices from Hetzner and DigitalOcean, excluding VAT (2026-10-19).
