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.
