@IPWright83 I know this is conversation hasn’t been active for a while, but I have a very similar approach working pretty well. We deployed our Strapi instance to a Hobby Dyno on Heroku so we pay a small monthly fee for that. Then we deployed our AWS lambda functions that connect to our MondoDB instance to return whatever data we need. With this approach we get a couple of benefits:
- Use Strapi admin so that less technical users can update data
- No need to pay for a production Strapi instance to be available for scaling
- Cost effective pay for use Lambda functions that are scalable
