I'm still amazed my company is paying £10k per month for AWS when they could have one or two servers on Hetzner do the whole thing.

- em500 3mo agoIt's not "the company" that makes such decisions, but some senior managers or directors who do. They don't see a penny extra in their paycheck for savings money, but they are on the hook if anything goes wrong with less mainstream tech choices.

- inigyou 3mo agoI'm amazed any company pays AWS for servers. I can get if you're paying for a service like media transcoding, but to put it in perspective, AWS normal prices are now about on par with Hetzner's 5x-increased-due-to-the-crisis new price for new servers
