That's great, but now I'm wondering how many engineers were paid for three months of full time work to save $1 million/year on AWS, and how much it costs the company to pay those engineers for 3 months.
It's also interesting to wonder about how much growth your startup could have managed if it had had three additional months of work from those engineers.
- grkvlt 10y agoIf you assume USD 250k per engineer, they would need to have had more than 16 engineers working on this for the 3 months to spend more than a million on salary. So, I'm guessing they probably came out ahead on that...?
