I help big companies reduce their cloud costs. Frequently I recommend moving Postgres and Kubernetes to on-prem.
When you’re spending over $1 million per year on either of those then you’ll save a lot of money by moving to on-prem.
The ideal cloud lifecycle is to iterate quickly on the cloud while you find product market fit, then when you know what you need start moving to on-prem to save money.
I don’t think you’ll ever need to migrate to AWS.
- hnGuyReaderDude 3y agoIs one million really the point where on prem becomes cheaper? I would think it’s much more like 10 million. Between having to pay server engineers and regional distribution and power costs I’d think it adds up to far more than 1 million. Where am I doing my math wrong?
- Agingcoder 3y agoIn a large company the engineers , regional distribution etc are already there and pis for by other parts of the company I think. Your math is otherwise correct.
- sjducb 3y agoExactly.
