“In total, we spent $3,201,564 on all these cloud services in 2022. That comes out to $266,797 per month. Whew!”
That $3.2 million comes from a company whose biggest product, Basecamp, already runs almost entirely on its own servers. HEY alone cost $1,066,150 for production. OpenSearch ran $519,959 and RDS $473,196. Leased racks at Deft cost “far, far less,” and Dell ships the servers straight to the data center. Nobody at 37signals even touches a cable.
