Does anyone have any ideas on how to reduce costs on a NAT Gateway, while still keeping the VPC setup secure. Any help would be appreciated.

This is the big annoyance with VPCs that everyone complains about. There's not really a solution
I now no longer use any services that require a VPC (was really only RDS)

Yeah, this really sucks. In our case serverless is not an option, we are using a third party container that we are hosting on ecs.

Yeah, for dev stages, we just deploy to public subnets. For staging, use 1 az, so single NAT. And we do what we have to do for prod.
