>> "Nobody ever got fired for [choosing AWS]".

"Hey Joe, the app you built for Goldberg Partners uses AWS right?"

"Yeah."

"What does it do on AWS again? Store some files?"

"Yeah, and a load balancer in front of a few containers that handle thumbnail generation for those images. Pretty standard stuff."

"I see. What was their pricing like?"

"Last time I checked, the billing page said something like $0.023 per GB for the first 50 TB or something like that, and $0.0116 per hour for the containers. I don't remember the load balancer pricing, but it should be pretty cheap, we don't have that much stuff on there."

"Interesting, okay. Can you explain why they sent us a bill for $10,372.77?"
