Someone like AWS has a minimum amount of time they bill for an instance for. It&#x27;s usually 1 hour. If Pinterest is deploying 500 times a day, the cost of spinning up all new instances every single time would be pretty excessive. A lot of companies have a fixed set of app servers that stay up most of the time, then another set of dynamic ones that spin up and down with traffic.<p>So yes, it probably does mean that they are deploying more than once to the same set of servers.
