New comment by nicbvs in "“DigitalOcean Killed Our Company” (2019)"

nicbvs — Tue, 31 May 2022 08:29:27 +0000

Because it's cheap, when this happened we were running on free credit, and as a young bootstrapped company, spending $0 is quite attractive.

DO had humans in the loop, they just followed a wrong process and choosed to cut communication.

Also, the probability of loosing your account vs having to spend $20k a year just for support is a quick decision to make when you start from nothing.

Today, I work for a company with billions in revenue, and it would be unthinkable to not get an AWS Account manager.

In the end it's always about risk vs reward.
