- neolog 6y agoBecause that's a lot of money.
- monsieurbanana 6y agoIs it the "without having to worry about infrastructure and scaling" that you disagree? I don't personally find the two statements at odds. If you have 250k connections 24/24 7/7 for a whole month, that should mean your business is generating more than enough money to cover the cost. Or, at the very least, that the losses by not being able to scale are higher than the cost of the infrastructure. If this is false and you'll be bankrupt by those 250k connections, you should obviously not let your instances to scale that much.

It’s not uncommon that a cloud provider would cover the costs if a customer make such an error (first time, ask nicely, etc). They are covering their own bases from having to do that on a massive scale.
