Surprised he didn't talk about dedicated/colocated servers. For $100/month he could have had a E3-1231v3, 32GB of RAM, 2x480GB SSDs and unmetered gigabit bandwidth from OVH. Instead he paid $100 for 4 hyperthreads, 15GB of RAM, a few GB of storage and fast but horrendously expensive bandwidth (assuming he used the n1-standard-4, which matches his description). If he'd set it up to scale the number of servers with load or something it'd make sense but this doesn't make any at all.
