What makes you think that in "a week or two" you are able to cut costs by a factor of ten without sacrificing performance and reliability?

Well, there's a lot of people here expressing surprise at the cost of hosting a small user base of simple data in a not complicated problem domain.

It looks an order of magnitude too expensive to us, there's probably some simple thing wrong in the architecture.

Maybe we're all missing a key complexity of the service. The Archival service might be it.

I'm imagining the full text search of the archive to be a factor, but then again I don't know much about search.
