spinning up multiple eks clusters is ridiculously expensive by comparison to paying for durable objects on demand.

  it’s all relative and it really depends on your scale. if your usage fits in the included compute and request count you get for $60/yr it’s absolutely gonna be cheaper. on the other hand, you can run EKS clusters in usw2, use2, apne1, apne2, euc1 for $8600/yr based on my napkin math. to me that does not sound expensive, i work at a company where $8600 is pocket change. but $8600 is much larger than $60/yr for region: earth.
