Cost optimisation with AWS App Runner
22 June, 2023
A neat feature of AWS App Runner is that a service can be paused. When paused, a service is no longer available to handle requests and is effectively offline. When a service is paused you no longer accrue any charges. This is great for development environments where you can tolerate not having a service running 24/7. A good use-case is to pause services in development environments outside of business hours, such as overnight and on weekends, as services often receive no traffic during such times.
