There’s a lot of middleground between hobbyists and your company’s use ;) Most mid-sized publishers I’ve worked with are in the $4-10k/mo range depending on CDN availability

Of course, I agree.

My point is that the parent I was replying to replied to “only hobbyists pay full price on aws”. The parent was expecting to get a discount on a 10k monthly bill. It is a lot of money, but not to AWS. You probably wont get (much) discount on 10k a month.

upthread: "[No one] pays full price"

later: "no one who spends more than $10k/month pays full price"

curious, that no one says what their bills are when they say "40-60% discount", right? This thread started because someone mentioned dell/netapp because they were half the price of AWS, all-in.

I notice a lot of threads do this, lately. Not this topic, but topics in general.

What kind of hobby do you have where you’re spending $10k/month?

I see you've never heard of Warhammer 40k

I see you haven't heard of SLA printers

Holy shit, it's brutal. What do you sell and how many customers do you have?
