planet scale cost confusion.
I'm new to wanting to work with big data, and I don't have a huge budget. Ideally $100 or less...hoping for someone with experience can advise here.
- I want to use prisma with mySQL on planet scale but I plan on storing 2+ terabytes of data.
- I see that is says $2.50 per extra GB which seems expensive? $2,500 = 1000gb
- While AWS General Purpose SSD is about 0.23 USD per gb = $230 = 1000gb
- Wondering if I'm missing something here on pricing and it's cheaper?
- Other hosting cheaper options?
- Host db on a spare computer with external hard drive?
Solution
nvm going to be hosting my db on an external hard drive and using compression for 70% extra space.
