    Were they running t2.micro instances or something? We're running 270k+ RPM no sweat, and our spend for those containers is maybe 1/100th what you're quoting there. The idea that Ra…

    Curious: what version of Rails was the codebase was running, and how long it had been around before it landed in your lap(s)?

    Profit does not rise proportionally with costs as reliability increases (i.e. it costs a lot of money to make it more reliable, but you don't get to charge substantially more). The…
