Why? If you had the choice between complete redundancy and infinite scaling by default while having almost zero work, or using a dedicated server that you need to configure and constantly maintain, what would you choose?
- iforgotpassword 4y agoIf with one thing, a single mistake can result in a $5k bill, and with the other I have a guaranteed fixed bill of 50 bucks a month, then unless I have enough money to burn, the choice is crystal clear. Maybe you wipe your butt with 100$ bills. Others aren't that lucky.
- tluyben2 4y agoExactly; if it is ‘the same’ but with a guarantee of max 50$/mo then sure, I would pick that, but that is not the case, also not with caps. So it is an entirely different case and usually the 50$ option actually brings you very far without any financial risk outside that $50/mo.
- Mo3 4y agoThe choice is only crystal clear until AWS etc implement hard caps to activate if needed. Then having some Lambda functions is not only exponentially cheaper than a whole dedicated server and by default highly available and redundant, but also equally as safe financially wise.
