I'd love to see if they did the math of the engineer time spent to learn all this vs paying another service. (Although outsourcing this doesn't necessarily mean you don't have to learn a lot of these things).
There must be an inflection point where it becomes more economical to host your own, but I doubt 22k an hour is that point? Maybe it is.

Sendgrid is pretty spendy, going by their public pricing and assuming the aveage usage is half the peak usage, the Sendgrid bill could be around ~$2500 usage.
