> Honestly? Who cares about cost savings? Honestly? Sane people. I worked at 80 person company which broke and closed because of this. We almost escaped this demise by going from PHP to HHVM which unfortunately was very alpha at the time, but we simply ran short of money and time. If it had worked, we would have scaled down 15x our AWS costs and would have saved at least 40 jobs.
