I feel like this is a bias in the HN bubble: In the real world, 99% of companies with any sort of web servers (cloud or otherwise) are running very boring, constant, non-Uber workloads.
- ksec 2y agoNot just HN but overall the whole internet. Because all the news and article, tech achievements are pumped out from Uber and other big tech companies. I am pretty sure Uber belongs to the 1% of the internet companies in terms of scale. 37Signals isn't exactly small either. They spend $3M a year on infrastructure in 2019. Likely a lot higher now. The whole Tech cycle needs to stop having a top down approach where everyone are doing what Big tech are using. Instead we should try to push the simplest tool from low end all the way to 95% mark.
- nchmy 2y agoThey spend considerably less on infra now - this was the entire point of moving off cloud. DHH has written and spoken lots about it, providing real numbers. They bought their own servers and the savings paid for it all in like 6 months. Now its just money in the bank til they replace the hardware in 5 years. Cloud is a scam for the vast majority of companies.
