Two things: 1. What kind of EC2 instance are we talking about for MongoDB? If you're not using an SSD, comparing Dynamo and Mongo wouldn't be an apples-to-apples comparison. 2. I buy that the strictly technical costs of these systems is lower, but I'm not certain I buy that the overall cost (including engineer time to set these services up and monitor them) is lower.
1. With a provisioned iops the performance is almost identical to SSD, but yes probably I haven't done a side-to-side technical comparison. I only wanted to point out that I replaced one with the other and I had a good cut in cost. 2. Maybe it is just me, but I really think that some services like mongodb/redis does not require a big amount of system administration work to setup, I have actually wrote many python scr…
I see what you're getting at, but I'd like to point out that "not a big amount of system administration work" isn't worth money. Have you actually figured out how much it costs you to write many python scripts?
