Expenses like hosting, domain, databases, cloud storage, subscription plans, app licences, etc can add up quickly.

What are your recurring expenses as a developer (monthly/yearly)?

All domains like .fr .dev .app, maybe 30€ (35.20$) per year and one VPS for 10€ per month (11.70$).

Thanks for the insight 👍 If not a secret, what VPS provider do you use?

This name is Sapinet (yes is a 'shortcut' link with my affiliate code 😂), pretty nice provider, I'm on since one year and more for run bots and websites.

Well, depends on the month 😅. Right now my cost is up because I'm hosting a valheim server.

I've got one domain which costs me about 10$ a year.

I have 4 servers costing me about 35$ a month (3 servers * 5$ + 1 server * 20$). I don't pay for additional services like databases since I don't need backups, etc for side projects. I've deployed my own Kubernetes cluster using k3s. I only use OSS variants of software I need such as grafana, postgres, and so on.

I also have on-demand VMs for my CI server which I had set up incorrectly a few months back. Ended up getting a 170$ bill.

The worst expense is a project which you won't admit you'll never get back to but you're still paying that $50 a month for the collective expenses.
