A million-dollar engineering problem

There are companies that will lease you a dedicated server with 40 cores and 256gb RAM for $499/month.

Figure a 10% quantity discount and you are looking at at least 200 of those for about $1 million per year.

Just because a company is ripping you off, it doesn't mean that's representative of the real market.

For 500€ a month, it's possible to buy your own 40 core blade with 256gb of RAM. In fact, it's possible to buy a pair of those servers.

Hetzner will rent you 24 cores (48 'cloud' cores), 1024GB RAM, and 4TB SSD for less than $499/month.
