I think this used to be true more than it is now. Memory has been relatively expensive in cloud environments for a while (often 2x the price of an ec2 node for an equivalent with 2x RAM) and DRAM shortages aren't helping.
- xienze 5d agoYeah it's more of a concern but not "rewrite a ten year old application in Rust to save on the cost of several gigabytes of RAM" bad.
- captainbland 5d agoFor the most part yeah but does depend on scale. For Java there are lower cost migration pathways like native compilation anyway if that does become your concern
- za3faran 5d agoCPU is still more expensive than memory. Trading more memory to save CPU (and reduce the # of nodes required to run your service) can still hold.
