On Azure (as an example) one gets 100 of the lowest managed SQL DB tier per 150K/year developer.
- hotsauceror 8y agoOn tier 1 stuff, yeah. We certainly have a number of instances that would be fine on a lower tier, like dev instances etc that we can license under MSDN subscriptions, or that honestly would be better off as containers on individual devs' machines. But AWS doesn't offer that, and from those same numbers I see that a single-AZ instance is still $19K a year, every year. That's actually new cost because we can't BYOL for RDS.
