Not to mention that the dataset is relatively small. A 16GB of ram server could basically serve responses sub-millisecond at line rate for like $25/month.

- Sevii 9y agoWhere are you getting 16GB ram for $25 a month? Would be pretty handy.
- byefruit 9y agohttps://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud has 16GB for $20 https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ has 16GB just over $20
- jackweirdy 9y agoA Hetzner CX41 is 16GB RAM @ €15.90/mo (about 18 usd) https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud
- moviuro 9y agoI currently have 2TB HDD, 16GB RAM, infinite bandwidth (100Mbps U/D) for 19.19€/month IIRC at Kimsufi [0] [0] https://www.kimsufi.com https://www.kimsufi.com

- moviuro 9y agoThat really wasn't the point of my reply. Sure, if the machine dies, my services die. But it's still dirt cheap.
- eropple 9y agoA dirt bike is cheap, too. It's not a car. It's definitely not a good car. It doesn't have much to help you when you hit a tree.
- ludjer 9y agoI pay 30 USD for 16 gig ram 6 TB hdd and high end I7. Its cheaper then buying the hardware and running it at my home. EC would cost me 130$ just for the instance excluding the 6TB space. So far my server has more then 1000 days uptime 0 problems. Also if you have 1 instance in a cloud or 1 instance on a dedi you should still have backup plans in place. Cloud is good for variable load, defenitly not for constant load. Also you get dedi's with san storage if all you care about is storage.
- voltagex_ 9y agoand 200-400ms latency to not-Europe.
- moviuro 9y ago210ms from South Africa, 91ms from NYC, 198ms from India, 360ms from Melbourne, 55ms from Morocco. It's really not that bad...

- ilovecars2 9y agoA DNS request/response, TCP handshake, SSL handshake and last but not least an HTTP request/response is an awful lot of 210ms round trips.
