The tide has totally changed. I saved a massive amount of money moving from colo to aws ~10 years ago. I think there's a mentality about it. When you're somewhat resource-constrained just due to the nature of having to get hardware, it makes you do some upfront design. This magic capacity lets teams punt on the problem. Like, "We saved a day not setting up nginx, and now we pay for every image we deliver," is not the same as "we saved $100,000 this quarter because we don't need a full-time sysop team." It's worth taking a beat to consider things at these margins.
