I&#x27;m working at a medium, growing startup and wonder when&#x2F;why to use AWS?<p>We currently use a mixture of root servers (DB) and VPS (App, HAProxy, NGinx) at a hoster.<p>* We use a Docker&#x2F;Consul&#x2F;Nomad&#x2F;SaltStack setup to install new servers for replacing broken ones and growth<p>* App setup is Redis&#x2F;Disque, Postgres(DB, BI) and app servers<p>* New dedicated servers we get in around 1h, VPS in around 1min (Only VPS over API)<p>* We have around 0.2 Ops FTE (devs rollout apps, ops for security updates, new infrastructure etc. and incidents)<p>* Price seems to be way below Amazon
