$2k per vCPU is 16k for a pretty standard 8 core ec2. The ec2 itself might cost ~$300 a month or $3600 a year. Where the hell did they come up with this pricing model lol.

This comment is really buried in the discussion. $2000 per vCPU for a library is absolutely insane pricing, unless you're running Akka on a single bare metal server, this is a non-starter for anyone.

Really unsure what Lightbend is trying to do here, this seems like the death of Akka.

A tiny single bear metal server, at that; most server hardware I use has 48 cores!

Running it at Raspberry Pi would cost you 8k.

There is like nothing where that would be cheap. Even if you looked for something that has very high IPC and clock rate.... the CPU with that will have at least 4 cores if not more.

Sounds like Oracle.

I'm 99% sure they got this pricing model from their current contracts for support contracts with enterprise companies.
