That's an awesome link, thanks. Does a lot to clarify where the pricing disconnect is between spinning up my own servers in the RS cloud and using ObjectRocket.

IMO RS's ObjectRocket pages should do a better job showing what you're getting on top just deploying to a bunch of RS cloud servers with SSD's in them.

Mason55, I work for Rackspace. The ObjectRocket service does not run on the cloud servers you get from RS. It's actually a different architecture just for MongoDB: flash drives all over, containers, pretty much tuned for MongoDB across the stack. While we don't describe the full details of the architecture, you have a very valid recommendation that we will take into consideration to make sure it is clear what you are getting for your money. Thanks.

Thanks for the additional info, great to have someone from RS chime in!
