i hear all these engineering hours cost but only because engineering cost in US is so high. we're in Southeast Asia where senior engineer only cost $1000 a month back then in 2016.


Isn't cost of living also much lower in Southeast Asia?


Sure, but AWS infrastructure costs pretty much the same no matter where you live.


i believe he was talking how it cost more in engineering cost versus the saving we can get from infrastructure by migrating.

eg: if the infra cost down by 10,000 USD per month, they may say it's not worth it because they are paying more for 1 developer in US in a month.
