Yet another modern "cloud native" era developer discovers how overpriced and underpowered most cloud offerings are.
Here's what they did folks: they set cloud prices a while back, did not drop them as Moore's Law delivered more power but instead pocketed the profit, and meanwhile ran an entire "cloud native" development push to encourage development practices that maximize cloud lock-in (both through dependence on cloud services and encouraging complexity).
Oh, and bandwidth is ludicrously overpriced in the cloud. You can transfer hundreds of terabytes a month outbound for <$500 if you know where to look. No I don't mean from static data either. Look at bare metal hosting.
