I kinda get that honestly. It’s why I’ll spend $20 without even thinking for take out but not spend $2 for an app. It’s because the cost off the software is way way more than the money. It’s a commitment to actually use it and integrate it, deal with their sales team, talk to purchasing, handle licensing, and introducing friction to replacing it or using tools that don’t integrate well because “well we already pay for it.” Licensing also complicates deployments substantially when you’re doing lots of autoscaling.

And on top of that Nginx Plus is also expensive as hell.

The buy in into AWS is much, much larger then using a piece of software though.

Don’t you have to integrate cloud? This whole post is about having to put a bunch of workaround bc the cloud can’t scale apparently
