A comment on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again. Parent comment
I don't get how this is relevant at all, it's more about how much data your company stores than how many employees it has.
I've worked for a company with 5000 employees that stored less data (fewer data?) than my current employer that has less than 100.
> No sane business is going to sign off on +3x storage costs on a risk that cannot be easily modeled
Probably not, but for us the cost is about 0.1x our aws storage costs, so it's a no-brainer.
