450 million pageviews on Vercel = $46,000

450 million pageviews on a single 16c/32t OVH box with nginx and a 3 Gbps connection = $245

450m page views in 1 month is only 173 requests per second. You can do that on a much cheaper box.

You're assuming an extremely consistent traffic rate, with zero spikes....

[acejam]

Sure, you are only proving my point even further. I just happen to have a personal policy of "no boxes in prod under 16 cores". :)

Having someone on-call 24/7 to keep that $245 box running: $400K.

[kriz9]

To run a $245 box, you'd need an entire team with Kubernetes experience — at least one Scrum Master included. Under $2M, I’d say it’s impossible.

Yeah... lol, because cloud setups never fall over. Ever.
