Re:You probably don’t need AWS and are better off without it

Our ECS containers all run continuously processing Kafka messages. Dev has variable throughput, but it's hundreds of messages per second at least. The containers all use between 256MB and 2048MB commits (they're stream processors, so they don't hammer the memory like a stateful monolithic service would).
My point was just that it doesn't have to cost over $1k on Amazon to run a combination of services which apparently CAN run in a private lab for $5/mo, however that is calculated. I can't run my full stack even without load (due to memory commit) on my 32GB, 3 year old Xeon workstation, and that would cost a lot more than $5/mo at any provider I am aware of.
