Fastly cost savings

I thought I would look at Fastly to see if they could host my companies website,

eCommerce - Check

Small business - Check

Savings of £150,000 over a three year period. Sound good, that £35,000 savings per year,

WAIT ONE - we aren't spending anything like that to manage a web server, three app servers and a database server. With associated firewalls, routers, etc. Its costing us a LOT less than this.

People need to understand that the "cloud" should really be pronounced "someone else's computers"
