If they charge these big numbers more it's precisely because they're trying to capture some of the embarrassingly better value you get from vertical scaling. It's a testament to vertical scaling's effectiveness that they _can_ do so.
- foota 3y agoSure, but by doing so they consume the effectiveness?
