AWS and Twillio costs are more or less location independent (w/in US at least).
Good point about significant portion going to salaries. Somehow author of the article wrongfully omitted it from the top 3 expenses.
p.s. and then the employees salaries to go pay for rent; so the "landlord" part is rightfully there; I just have no idea how AWS and Twillio ended up on the list.
- lsc 9y agoMy point re aws is that aws is way more expensive than data center space and hardware; if you have someone competent and inexpensive in the midwest to handle the datacenter/hardware stuff, it makes sense to move off of aws much sooner than in the bay area, where people to manage the hardware side of things are going to cost you a whole lot. Therefore, your amazon bill is, in a way, location dependent.
