By my math, the bill for their app and database servers would be approaching $30,000 per month. That doesn't include storage costs, bandwidth, or any of the other aspects of their infrastructure.
That's crazy, if you ask me.
- simonw 15y agoIs that calculation taking reserved instances in to account?
- rkalla 15y agoNo, I don't think so. Latchkey did the same calculation, using on-demand prices and came up with $35k[1] 3rd reserved is roughly 48% cheaper than on-demand, so real hosting cost would be around $18,200 for those servers.
