What sort of traffic do you push through this infrastructure? Micro instances only have ~600MB of memory and I found them to be severely over-sold cpu-wise -- doesn't windows require like ~300MB of RAM to just boot? And Windows is only a penny more per hour on micro instances (although that is 50% more than Linux) -- but quite a bit more on larger instances should you ever have to scale up: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pric.. http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pric... Re database choice -- http://xeround.com http://xeround.com is totally down right now... Thoughts? I dunno, just seems like a world of hurt should you actually have to scale up -- but presuming you do, perhaps you'd have the funds and/or resources to cover it anyway. Additionally, How on earth do you hire people to work in this stack?!?
