That's just the server instance cost. What about bandwidth and S3 cost? Bandwidth would cost a bundle.

The bandwidth is less than 5% of the total cost. It's about $2500 a month.

I haven't studied their arch, but I could imagine scenarios where spot instances would reduce the bill some, but yeah. Bandwidth. Ouch.
