Right. Now what's the developer man-hour cost of the move?
Unless their product is pretty static and not seeing much development, they're probably in the negative.
- manvillej 3y agowhen we don't optimize for cloud and look at it from this angle and squint, it looks like we're saving money!

- zer00eyz 3y agoIt's not a very good question: they still have aws compatibility as their fail over/backup (should be live but that's another matter...) What's capex vs opex now? Thats 150k of depreciable assets, probably ones that will be available for use long after all the current staff depart. Everyone forgets what WhatsApp did with few engineers and less hardware, there's probably more than enough room for them to grow, and they have space to increase capacity. The cloud has a place, but candidly so does a Datacenter and ownership.
- RhodesianHunter 3y ago> they still have aws compatibility as their fail over/backup Now you're maintaining two tiers. That's more work, not less.
- potatopatch 3y ago> Right. Now what's the developer man-hour cost of the move? I think the real question is what's the cost to buy an equal number of training hours so you can pretend your resources are that competent. Imagine a military that never fought, never did significant exercises and probably doesn't even have cleaning exercises any more on half its inventory.. That's basically how I view a company that had organic IT growth over a few years and hasn't done a major transition in anyone's recent memory.
