AWS EC2 + RDS + S3 = so expensive, even with zero users

Hey folks!

I launched my SaaS project(and it has zero user) an he is my monthly cost:

AWS

Relational Database ServiceUSD - 17.91
Elastic Compute CloudUSD - 10.71
Virtual Private CloudUSD - 6.82
Route 53USD - 0.51
Simple Storage Service - 0.03

Total: 35.98$

Mailgul(email notification):

35$ - 50k monthly emails 10 domains

So it comes down to \~$70/mon

Two thoughts:

1. I used AWS because I new how to set it up quickly.
2. Mailgun was recommend to me by a friend. I though my project will get users, but unfortunately it is not getting any. I'm switching to a cheaper plan that is 15$ per month now.

Can you please recommend what is cheaper alternatives out there. I now data bases could get expensive, but in case I even didn't git 100 users and I'm already paying so much.

Thank you.

Dont really know how to structure/organize templates + static files in project.

I feel so much pain and cringe with my spaghetti ui/template but-functioning-as-for-now code

Dont know how to Connect all this insights or ideas into a "structured way" of doing things in Django UI part.

I have 3 different layouts one is full width other is with a drawer another is without the drawer.
There are elements/components/ in tables or forms that may be shared across apps.
From a DX perspective for JS code sometimes i prever "intra-file" script tag. Sometimes add it via Django Template Inheritance block feels ok. But also use webpack and may import js code directly to webpack entrypoint/entryfile.
My new best friend htmx and template-partials with or without the Carlton Gibson package

I would love if django provided an opinionated way of writing and storing html/js code and files. Taking into consideration the simple but diverse a fully functiong web Application could be in terms of ui related code and how easy it is to constantly repeat yourself and store code in all Parts of the project.

I created a datestamp tool to add datestamps to your photos from metadata

# What My Project Does

I created a tool that extracts the date a photo was taken from the metadata and adds the datestamp to the photo. I was motivated to create this project, because I saw someone asking for a tool like this on a photography subreddit.

Flask was my web library of choice and pillow was used to extract metadata and edit the images. The frontend is a barebones HTML form without CSS and JavaScript. I am hosting this app on pythonanywhere.

# Target Audience

People who feel nostalgic about their old photos.

# Comparison

I haven't seen any web-hosted alternatives to this tool, but one possible option is to use the imagemagick CLI. My tool is more user friendly as it does not require the user to interact with a terminal application.

Extracting data from (tricky) PDFs for Excel using Python (both API and DIY)

Hey Python learners, I'd like to share how to use AI (specifically Google's new Gemini model) to extract structured data into a CSV/XLSX format from PDFs.

I'm sharing this because most traditional solutions that don't use AI seem to fail for very complicated PDFs.

These docs covers how to do this entirely with an API, and the API github linked in the guide has further instructions on how you can do this whole process for yourself with Python with an LLM provider.

Have fun!

odex - python object index for fast, declarative retrieval

# What My Project Does

Odex provides a set-like collection called `IndexedSet` which allows for fast, declarative queries on native python objects:

from odex import IndexedSet, attr, and_

class X:
def __init__(self, a, b):
self.a = a
self.b = b

iset = IndexedSet(
[
X(a=1, b=4),
X(a=2, b=5),
X(a=2, b=6),
X(a=3, b=7),
],
indexes=["a"]
)

# Filter objects with SQL-like expressions:
iset.filter("a = 2 AND b = 5") == {X(a=2, b=5)}

Pilgram, a texting based idle MMO RPG

Pilgram is a telegram bot entirely built in python that lets you play a grimdark idle MMO RPG powered by AI.

In Pilgram you can go on endless quests, fight endless monsters, craft powerful artifacts, cast spells, join guilds & cults, find powerful loot & become the ultimate adventurer!

# What my project does

The bot provides a text interface with wich you can play an endless online idle loot based adventure game

# Target audience

RPG players will probably like it. It's a toy project that i initially made out of boredom, also it sounded cool. I kept developing it after it got a small community by adding requested features like guild taxes, combat & loot.

# Comparison

The game is kind of similar to a MUD (Multi User Dungeon) but it has idle game elements & Diablo style loot generation.

# More info

How is it infinite? The secret is AI. Every quest, event, monster & artifact in the game is generated by AI depending on the demand of the players, so in practice you'll never run out of new stuff to see.

The interface is exclusively text based, but the command interpreter i wrote is pretty easy to integrate in other places, even in GUIs if

Wrote some absolutely atrocious code and Im kinda proud of it.

In a project I was working on I needed to take out a username from a facebook link. Say the input is: "https://www.facebook.com/some.username/" the output should be a string: "some.username". Whats funny is this is genuinely the first idea I came up with when faced with this problem.


Without further a do here is my code:

def get_username(url):
return url[::-1][1 : url[::-1].find("/", 1)][::-1]



I know.

I created a script that predicts Premier League football (soccer) results

Hi everyone,

I had a script that I made a while ago to predict football (soccer) results in the Premier League, and I've just made it into a webpage so everyone can use it.

Page: https://jimmyrustles.pythonanywhere.com/football

Github: https://github.com/sgriffin53/footballpredictorflask

It uses a Gaussian Naive Bayes model to predict results based on past data. It uses the data from the 2021-2024 seasons.

What My Project Does

It shows predictions for the next 30 days of football matches in the Premier League with predictions for scores for each match. The predictions are based on a probability model based on past performance. You can also input custom teams to see what the result would be in a match between them.

Target Audience (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.

This is originally just for myself and my friend Jay. We've been using it to place accumulators on Premier League matches based on the predictions, only small longshot bets that would result in big payouts. We haven't won any money, but the bot has got a few 1 - 0 and 0 - 0 results correct in the time we've been using it. I made it into a Flask page so that everyone can use the predictions. It's intended

Protean - Opensource DDD/CQRS/ES Python Framework

**Protean is an open-source Python framework designed to build ambitious applications that scale and evolve.**

Sourcecode: [https://github.com/proteanhq/protean/](https://github.com/proteanhq/protean/)

Documentation is under construction and available at [https://docs.proteanhq.com/](https://docs.proteanhq.com/).

# What My Project Does

**Protean offers CQRS and Event-Sourcing tools and patterns for creating sustainable, domain-driven codebases.** It aims to tackle complexity in high-stakes domains and keep the codebase sustainable and maintainable.

At its core, Protean adopts a Domain-Driven Design (DDD) approach to development, supporting patterns to succinctly and precisely express your domain.

A Protean domain model sits at the center of the application. Infrastructure concerns like ORMs, API frameworks, and message brokers are plugged into it via configuration.

Protean has a ports-and-adapters architecture. When ready, developers can seamlessly plug technologies like databases, message brokers, and caches, and Protean will take care of the rest.

# Comparison

Protean is an alternative to Django but without the constraints that come with a monolithic system or full-stack frameworks. One can start with one domain hosted as one service but fragment the domain into multiple bounded contexts over time, deployed as microservices. Each piece of technology/infrastructure can be plugged in or swapped out with configuration.

# Target Audience

Protean is an ideal framework for:

* **Startups**: because they start small and want to get to market fast, and still want

Want to contribute and learn from some django based mid sized projects.

I have been working in django DRF and react for couple of years. I hvae used vultr and aws for the deployments. However I am interestd to see how mid size projects are organized where there are more than 5-6 devs working on the same project. Would love to know if there is any open source project or if anyone want to let me see how they organize their code.
