I assume this is not consumer hardware. Is this something you'd normally find in a data center, eg would you rent this from AWS?
- diggan 3y agoWhen you're doing a setup with dedicated servers and trying to avoid microservices, it's not exactly uncommon to end up with a beefy 32 core/64 thread server and it can be had for relatively cheap. Hetzner rents them out for ~150/200 EUR/month. I'm sure AWS has something similar albeit a bit pricier.
