What a genius idea, design only for people with expensive screens, make software only people with a dual Xeon and a GTX1080 can run, and be sure to make the minimum resolution 2560*1900. You're sure to make friends. Welcome to reality,

A single m4.16xlarge on AWS is at the very least $2200 per month. That doesn't even include storage costs. Depending on your country, that definitely pays for an already trained sysadmin. Also, some stuff just cannot be put onto AWS. I
