You're definitely spending more than $100/month in terms of time, but in terms of servers/bandwidth, you can support a million users pretty well on $100 if you don't use the standard web frameworks etc which are woefully inefficient.
- mattmaroon 18y agoWell, at $100 per month there's no real scaling. You're running everything on one inexpensive server. Scaling would be just getting a better one. (Can you even get a dedicated for that low?) I guess maybe you and I define scaling differently. I'm thinking like adding in web servers, load balancing, replicating db. You may be just talking optimizing code and caching or something. Curiously, can you serve even some simple dynamic content like a Wordpress blog to a million somewhat frequent users a month?
- axod 18y agoThat's the issue though... you don't need a dedicated server to serve 1m users, and you don't need to add web servers, load balancing, replicating etc etc VPS servers are so cheap and more than enough. The current web stacks are just ridiculously lousy.
