Tell HN: I DDoSed myself using CloudFront and Lambda Edge and got a $4.5k bill
I'm very much on the boring technology side of things with respect to hosting.<p>40€ / month gets you a very powerful dedicated server that can easily handle millions of requests per day and performs incredibly well and can be managed easily.<p>If you also use containers you even get quite a bit of flexibility and agility.<p>To be honest I don't really understand the sentiment that developers can get away with not knowing basic sysadmin stuff and at the same time have to spend relevant amounts of time, energy and money to get up to speed with cloud solutions, k8s and so on.<p>But then again, I'm not one of the cool kids...
