Easiest way to get $5000 Amazon AWS credits

Amazon AWS offers a Free Tier. They let you run one t2.micro (1 vCPU, 1GB memory) or t3.micro (2 vCPU, 1GB memory) virtual machine instance without charge. Not a lot, and it's only valid for one year.

I run $150/month worth of servers and it was a real drain on my finances. I complained about that to a few Indie Hackers that I met with, and I learned about a cool trick you can do to eliminate infrastructure costs.

I learned that if you buy a Startups.com membership for $49 you'll get $5000 of AWS credits, valid for two years.

And if you don't want to spend the $49 you can get $1000 from their Founders Program.

If you use it up you can apply again and get up to $100,000 in credits, or so I hear.

I hope this helps!
