Around that certain point you can also talk to AWS or GCP and get very significant discounts. I'm surprised 37signals and AWS didn't find a number that worked for both.

I've seen a few of these deals with other vendors up close, the difference with public pricing is huge if you spend millions per year.

I worked/consulted for several companies who had multimillion per year cloud commits, sometimes with different clouds, and those discounts are not competitive with onprem like at all

If it takes talking to them to get discounts, might as well look at all the options and get the real discount of not being on the cloud.

DHH has said previously that they already have a very good deal when compared with list price. But AWS still couldn't come close to on prem costs.
