Oh, sorry, I did not know about that! It need some extra planning before buying it.

  Cept it can be hard to plan for smaller companies. If your startup is a fail, you don't need anything. If it is bootstrapping, you might need a medium or large for a DB. If you are hitting it huge, you need all you can get. The pricing system with reserved instances is fine for a stable business with 10% yearly growth, not good for a startup. As a user I would totally just prefer a discount for using more, but I can also see why amazon doesn't want to have a bunch of hardware that is 1 year old and no one wants to use it (but couldn't they just adjust the price to make it valuable still? )

    You can choose on-demand instances till calibrate your growth. You can also use load balancing, starting new servers as need.
