$2k per vCPU is 16k for a pretty standard 8 core ec2. The ec2 itself might cost ~$300 a month or $3600 a year. Where the hell did they come up with this pricing

- disruptiveink 4y agoThis comment is really buried in the discussion. $2000 per vCPU for a library is absolutely insane pricing, unless you're running Akka on a single bare metal server, this is a non-starter for anyone. Really unsure what Lightbend is trying to do here, this seems like the death of Akka.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y ago> unless you're running Akka on a single bare metal server A tiny single bear metal server, at that; most server hardware I use has 48 cores!
- xani_ 4y agoRunning it at Raspberry Pi would cost you 8k. There is like nothing where that would be cheap. Even if you looked for something that has very high IPC and clock rate.... the CPU with that will have at least 4 cores if not more.

- that_guy_iain 4y agoI'm 99% sure they got this pricing model from their current contracts for support contracts with enterprise companies.
