Deployment on AWS EC2

[hmacdope]

We will deploy an MVP on EC2 rather than Lambda, as much easier to get started with. We can then evaluate a shift to a lambda based model.

I saw on #4 you were concerned with secrets, AWS has a few different products to manage that, including a secret store that we can setup so that AWS Lambda can read from it (or an EC2 host can fetch it). How compute intensive is this?

[hmacdope]

Its not very compute hungry.

It will be much more efficient as a lambda, but will require some fiddly re-architecting to get it to work. I propose (and discussed with others) that we could just deploy on a cheap EC2 instance (e.g t4g medium $12/mo) for an MVP and work towards a lambda in the future.

What do you think?
