Eh. Most businesses don’t really need big scale. I build exclusively in the cloud, but the app I maintain could easily run on a single $2k server, with the possible exception of image resizing.
- BubRoss 6y agoYou would have to be resizing a tremendous amount of images to overwhelm a $2k server.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoOr a very inefficient implementation.
- ies7 6y agoFor comparation, 2 years ago we build thumbor-like apps in python using vibora and opencv. A single aws m8 large($80/month?) can serve hundred millions images resizing in a month. At that time we build it with only 2 people, copy pasting code from internet in a few days and vibora’s github readme also state that its in alpha release. With $2K server, you need to cheat to make those inefficient implementation :) Side note: Several weeks later I found out about thumbor and replace our ‘emergency work’ with dockerized thumbor I also tinkered with thumbot in aws lambda. But the cost raised to $500/month. I think we did something wrong with aws rekognition.
- maallooc 6y agoThere's a high chance that running 100 times of your app's load won't even use 10% of the $2k server.
- xwdv 6y agoYou don’t need a server period for image resizing, that should really be a lambda function in AWS. Super cheap.
