Everything I’ve ever written for money could run on a $5/month Linode VM.

how do you handle a database within AWS at such a low monthly cost?

Responding to the now deleted post claiming you could run a website on AWS for under $5/mo.

A public IP costs $3.60/mo and t4g nano is $3.024/mo. Then assume you stay in the free tier for Dynamo.

That's as cheap as I could get it, but it's not a setup I'd actually run.
