Unless your product is similar to Dropbox or a side project for fun and giggles, anyone complaining about "insane" AWS costs is building a product with no viable business opportunity, or just doesn't understand all the direct and indirect costs associated with running and maintaining infrastructure in-house.
- scurvy 8y agoClouds are cheap for CPU. They're really expensive for storage and network. Most services still need to store bits and send bits, viable or not.
