I think we live in very different realities, 6k a year is nothing, its a weeks worth of pay for 1 SWE. A 6k a year savings opportunity is not on any funded star

I think we live in very different realities, 6k a year is nothing, its a weeks worth of pay for 1 SWE. A 6k a year savings opportunity is not on any funded startups radar.
And RDS is doing a lot more for you than what you can set up in an afternoon w.r.t observability and features that are just a click away. I actually implemented some of those features when I worked there :)
- 9dev 2mo agoWe just might—not everyone works in SV. The 6k are a single database out of a vastly bigger pool of expenses, so unless you’re funded with six to seven digits from the start, it’s not nothing. At least in Europe, shelling out 300 grand on an SWE for an early stage company is delusional.
