Right. I pay under 2k for server costs. And combined with all the different platforms I use and the convenience features and not having to hire my own devops person, I assure you I am saving A LOT.
There are few companies that operate at the scale at where it is cheaper to run your own servers. Once you hit that, it is a great problem to have.
- Retric 4y agoCloud doesn’t eliminate the need for dev ops. Sometimes it can help, but overall I’ve seen an increase in cost, workload, and stress. The cloud is very much a your mileage can very situation. Just remember cloud providers are very interested in selling you a product due to their extremely high profit margins.
- Justsignedup 4y agoEh. Sort of. I disagree with that statement. So far the devops of managing my cloud stuff on heroku has been a few days a year. And we have a better pull-request environment setup than most places I worked with that did or didn't use cloud. Point is, devops as a service is great for small scale. I've done the math of what it would cost to switch away from heroku, and at this point it is quadruple our current costs, because of the time investment, and that's over a few years. And then moving to our own servers? even worse.
