A long time ago, an F100 company acquired my messaging startup. We hosted client APIs and a web application for 2M monthly users sending 1B messages/month on a single AWS medium CPU server and a SQL Server DB. The rest of our infra was entirely for redundancy and monitoring to enable our 99.995% uptime.
Post-acquisition, the AWS budget I was given to maintain our infra was almost 20x the actual cost, and based on infra that company used to host similar traffic.
