I am an independent iOS app developer with no database experience and little capital. I read about Realm Object Server today and I am interested in setting it up for sync, but I have had little luck figuring out how I can do so in an affordable manner. My app does have a lot of users and a large database, so Amazon AWS EC2 seems like it will become unaffordable very quickly for me. I scoured the web trying to figure out if there was some way to run the Realm Object Server within each user's private CloudKit container, but it seems like that isn't typically done. I could really use some advice on how best deploy Realm Object Server for my particular situation, if anyone can help. Thanks so much.
For a low cost option you could check out AWS Lightsail or DigitalOcean both offer $5/month Linux instances and a simpler interface.
