- jon-wood 13y agoIf you place no value on you're time then yes, it would be cheaper to just run it on your own EC2 instance. There's a lot to be said for not having to worry about the day to day of maintaining a database server though.
- bjeanes 13y agoWell said. It's frustrating how much people want to do price comparisons on the commodity instead of the service. You're paying for the "as a service" part of PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, *aaS.
