Agreed that you should be careful about all the auxiliary aws services but can you actually show real proof that on perm is cheaper as a whole while doing everything fast?
For sure you pay a premium for ec2, but at the least you get good reliability. Your data won’t disappear off S3 unless you delete it. What level of rigor do you need to put in your on premise game to promise the same?
Even for my side projects I nowadays just float an Elastic beanstalk flask app and a small rds instance. It costs 15 a month but I’m fine with that cost for the time it saves me. If you want to be truly cost conscious stick to lightsail. It’s a steal all things considered.
- ericd 5y agoI think even on-prem should generally use S3 for the scalable storage parts like user image hosting, scaling storage sucks. But for app, database, or compute that’s anything but a one-off? Dedicated servers destroy in terms of cost/performance. And bandwidth on AWS is an incredible ripoff, so if you’re doing any heavyweight data hosting, you should absolutely bust out the calculator. OVH boxes with dedicated 1 gbit lines are just absurdly more cost efficient there.
