From the start, companies that offer cloud services have promised simplicity and cost savings. Basecamp has had one foot in the cloud for well over a decade, and HEY has been running there exclusively since it was launched two years ago. We’ve run extensively in both Amazon’s cloud and Google’s cloud, but the savings promised in reduced complexity never materialized. So we’ve left.
The rough math goes like this: We spent $3.2m on cloud in 2022. The cost of rack space and new hardware is a total of $840,000 per year.
Leaving the cloud will save us $7 million over five years.
At a time when so many companies are looking to cut expenses, saving millions through hosting expenses sounds like a better first move than the rounds of layoffs that keep coming.
Apa, kezdodik! Most, hogy a tokekoltseg egy ici-picit magas lett, kezdenek raebredni a cegek, hogy tul draga az olyan kiserletezgetes, hogy "just migrate to this new workload bro, trust me bro, just use our managed k8s cluster bro, then you will save so much" - avagy a libak megdoglottek, de otleteim lennenek meg.
Az en joslatom a kovetkezo ot evre:
- sokkal jobban kulonvalik az IT mint commodity es az IT mint core tevekenyseg
- a commodity ki lesz szervezve ugyanugy mint eddig - Exchage Online 4 dollar per fo per ho, aki azt allitja, hogy ennel olcsobban kihozza, ahhoz lennenek kerdeseim :)
- core tevekenysegekre tobb onprem, de megtobb hibrid cloud - pl. black friday elott belokni plusz nehany node-ot a k8s ala egy public cloudbol szinte ingyen van, az egeszet kivinni viszont mar feleslegesen draga
- YMMV ha kkv vagy startup vagy, es nincs penz CAPEX-re
