> few gb of ram ...

5 years ago I never would have given this comment a second thought.

Now I read it and have to wonder: when does the price of ram start showing up in the butchers bill from your cloud provider?

I don't know about you, but my cloud provider has been charging me for the ram on my compute instances since the beginning.

You have to pay that cost in a worker thread anyway, too. There’s no free lunch.
