There are companies "in the trough" who are contently spending tens of millions a year on AWS. It's hard to give generic advice for all situations-- as with so much else, context matters heavily.

- rhizome 10y agoMy point was based on how dynamic the architectures are (or aren't) of those in the trough, not their level of spending.
- QuinnyPig 10y agoAh, my apologies! It depends. I have a toy service that exists entirely as an autoscaling group. That's pretty dynamic! Counterpoint: Mainframes.
- rhizome 10y agoA toy service is not what I'm thinking of as being in "the trough." The trough is where scaling and bursting aren't generally necessary.
