Moving from AWS
I was using AWS to host my personal project. I am planning to release it to the public in a few weeks as it's still work-in-progress. I deleted all the services I was using in AWS as it was costing a lot to host my backend app even with minimal infra requirements. It was a few hundred dollars every month but a huge money money in India. I'm planning to use the following services with minimum possible config in Linode and looking for feedback from the community on cost and developer support:
- k8s with one or two worker nodes along with one master node
- PostgresSQL
- Storage to store the docker image
- Secret Manager
- Redis
I will be using github Actions for CI/CD. I will continue to use AWS Route 53 to host the domain.
Also, can I increase the config of each of these services without any hassle later?

It's great that you're considering Linode for hosting your project. Linode is known for its affordable and competitive pricing and reliable services. To have a look at the cost of all the products and services that Linode offers, please visit at Predictable Pricing document to have a detailed information.
You can also use Linode's Cloud Pricing Calculator get an estimate how much the services will cost for you according to your requirements.
As our product and srevices configurations are different than AWS, in some case they are managed and some are unmanaged, I have provided the link to the all Guides for services that you have mentioned :
To answer your query for developer support, As Linode is an infrastructure hosting provider, the internal configurations and applications of individual Linodes are outside the scope of our support. While we do our best to answer questions presented to us and get you pointed in the right direction, our expertise and a lack of access to your configurations prevent us from always providing complete answers. What does fall within the scope of our support is issues related to the Linode Manager or the hardware/networking of your Linode. If you encounter bugs with your Linode services, we would be able to offer assistance. You can read a little more about the Support Boundaries in our Terms of Service and Scope of Support document.
To your last query about increasing the configuration of the services, Yes, you can increase the configuration of the services at any point of time hassle free according to your requirements. Here is a Guide for resizing the services -> Guides - Change Plans (Resize)
If you have any further queries, feel free to reach out to our Support Team, we are available 24/7 to assist you.
