also interesting is how quora, with presumably less traffic , but built on python, said in a press release associated with their last large raise (50MM I believe ) that majority of the money would be spent on EC2 bills - I'll update this thread with a link when I find it update: http://www.quora.com/What-will-Quora-do-with-the-50-million-in-funding-it-just-received http://www.quora.com/What-will-Quora-do-with-the-50-million-... "We project a large portion of this money to go to EC2 and other AWS bills. It might be replaced by whatever the most appropriate place for us to run our infrastructure is in the future but as of today it's looking like EC2."
