Lets start at the beginning. This project is built for one purpose, to play minecraft with friends seamlessly, effortlessly, without any constraints towards third party hosting services (except AWS of course, but lets leave this out from consideration for now). How awesome would it be if you could launch your own minecraft server and play with your friends accross the world in just a matter of seconds. Cool huh? Well fear no more my friend, here's another solution amongst the other few dozens, which builds on top of AWS provided services and grants a probably overly complicated but eyecatching solution, what's even cooler, you don't have to worry about the complicated part at all. Let's take a look at the money. We want to keep one thing in mind, only pay for what you use (seems like I heard this one already) and when you use, in other words, 'Pay as you Play', but no more.
Well first of all there's no additional charge for the service at all, you can use it for you own sake, though we are here to help. Next, the app uses Spot Instances which is amongst the cheapest solutions for keeping servers. Even more than 70% can be saved up by just using AWS EC2 Spot Instances compared to On-Demand solutions. Moreover, it's going to be possible to provision servers for a foreknown amount of time which also saves up money. There's only one requirement, to have an AWS account.
