This is not a very good example. These people were just doing it wrong. If they had been running something like AppEngine, Heroku, GKE, ECS, etc, they wouldn't have had to worry about maintaining VMs, replicating app instances, proper VM sizing, etc. It's not the microservice architecture that was costing them money, it was their poor technical choices.
