Well, I think the article said it was $35k per month in AWS costs alone. If they had 6800 paying customers at the cheapest rate ($50 per year) they were making $333,200 per year -- $27,767 per month.
My #1 priority would have been getting the storage costs to be break-even, with plan to get well under in a year. I have to assume they tried and discovered they couldn't get their numbers low enough.
