A comment on Costs of running a Python webapp for 55k monthly users. Parent comment
If my dev uses a slow stack or doesn't optimize v1, maybe I spent $100/mo instead of $10/mo.
Hell, let's say I'm spending $500/mo.
My mixed rate is ~$75/hr for dev time, so a week of dev time is equivalent to 6 months of hosting.
If optimizing (or using a difficult stack) takes one dev an extra week, then I'd better save $3,000 of hosting.
