About 28K euros of hardware per replica IIRC + colo costs.
- rednafi 2y agoYearly, 28k Euros I presume. Damn. I hope you make enough revenue to continue. This is pretty impressive.
- Eikon 2y agoNo, one time + ongoing colocation costs.
- fulafel 2y agoSo that's about 467 eur per month per server assuming a 5 year term. Anyone know what it would be on AWS with Aurora? I had a quick go with https://calculator.aws/ https://calculator.aws/ and ended up with a 5-figure sum per month.
- Eikon 2y agoI tried for fun: https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=cfc9b9e8207961f777766e19660b8de103ec53f9 https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=cfc9b9e8207961f777766e1... Seems like it would be 160k USD a month. I could not input my actual IO stats there, I was getting: Baseline IO rate can't be more than 1000000000 per hour.
- tracker1 2y agoThe CPU itself is around $8-10k for a top-end AMD Epyc, $15-20k for the rest of the server, including memory and storage is probably about right. There are still $100k+ servers, but they tend to be AI equipment at this point, not the general purpose stuff, which is sub $30-50k now.
- sgarland 2y agoI mean no disrespect, but it is stunning how hard the idea of owning your own hardware is to a large percentage of the tech population. You can just… own servers. I have five in a rack in my house. I could pay a colo a relatively small fee per month for a higher guarantee of power and connectivity. This idea also scales.
