- jhuckestein 16y agoOTTOMH: create different configurations that you only need for one project, experiment with cutting edge software, increase CPU, memory and disk on the fly ...
- drivebyacct2 16y agoFor a development environment? What? Especially with node.js that simply doesn't make sense. If you're running it with users on it which would actually need CPU, memory or disk, duh I would run it on EC2.
- AlexC04 16y agoIMO - because it is hosted on the net and you can send the link to others. I was just about to set up an EC2 micro with node and mongo this weekend. I also get the opportunity to build a server, deploy in an environment that I can scale in "one day" I think there are a lot of valuable skills to be gained by doing this for free and for fun right now, so that I can do it for a startup later on. If I don't know how to build an EC2 system, I can't be confident in my ability to sell that skill later on.
