Tactics · Dev.to · stat: $25/yr

AIdeazz founder Elena Revicheva builds a production AI agent infrastructure that costs less than $25 annually. The setup runs 10 active agents by routing tasks between Oracle Cloud’s free tier, Groq for fast Llama 3 queries, and Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku. Revicheva avoids hosting fees entirely by utilizing Oracle's permanent allocation of four virtual machines.

Aggressive free-tier routing proves bootstrapped AI requires minimal capital. Founders can bypass high cloud bills by routing workloads across Oracle's free tier and low-cost API providers.
