If you are not constrained to the Pi's form factor, there are lots of options for more powerful x86 systems for <$150 per system, often with RAM and storage included. See the linked thread for more details. If you are willing to go

Unless you are constrained in space to a single ITX case as in this example, you can get whole x86 machines for <$100 with RAM and storage included. There is a lot of choice in the <$150 range. You could get eight of these and a cheap

It depends on your requirements. Serving user-facing content is likely to be a task best suited to data centers geographically close to the user base. There are plenty of non-user-facing tasks that could be offloaded to another location. As

EC2 is definitely at a premium. If you are pricing CPU and RAM, the big three cloud providers are near the top of the pricing continuum. Hetzner is usually at or near the bottom end of the pricing continuum. If you are including the value-a

I used to work at a summer camp. Campers would sign up for various activities, the longest time slot for which was one hour each day, commonly used for extended crafts or sometimes a movie. One week, a friend and I ran the activity “Friend

I would love to get ten different opinions or approaches on topics such as this. Ultimately, I need to make decisions for my product and my company on my own, but more inputs will allow me to evaluate more options and make a better choice

I totally agree. This sort of thing is not commodity information. I am not looking for a right answer or an oracle (and certainly not Oracle!) to consult for issues we face. I chose my wording carefully in my question to emphasize discussio

Thanks. This is the second recommendation for this group, so I am eager to take a look.

Thanks for this input. I do hope that we are able to build both a valuable product and a company that I would be excited to work for even if it were not my own.

The idea of an academic model definitely appeals to me. One thing I often struggle to find which is very common in academia is a literature review and a survey of common approaches. This sort of thing would be hugely valuablen tackling vari

They are facing the same macroeconomic challenges (pretty much tautologically). AMD is and has been taking market share from Intel.

I would be curious to hear more about this. My response to a sibling explains how we do not have huge performance considerations right now (and our i/o-bound nature). Due to the primary work of our product, we are utilizing async workf

Our work is incredibly i/o-bound, so we would probably not see much of a performance difference no matter what language we chose. Additionally, our presentation layer is served directly from an in-memory, columnstore database and is di
