i agree that the dependencies are probably unavoidable and probably a net good but... well... just don't forget the system and network security best practices while you quickly put together that project, especially if it's in a public cloud.

btw you should be making $6000 + $1000 or so a month for at least a couple of years doing that, not $6000 a single time. the total lifetime value of setting up an application should be above $30k, hopefully way above, but at the entry level where you are that's a nice healthy number to shoot for.

we bill our total customer base over $6000 a day for this kind of work and it all starts with 'assembling a job' but certainly doesn't end there, or ever (hopefully). good luck buddy!
