This got me thinking about the recent Rails improvement on moving cache from RAM to SSD. The test they did from what I remembered was RAM at 0.8ms and SSD was ~1.5ms. Moving to SSD you could afford to cache 10x more data and still be cheaper. Now I wonder if the test results would be the same on cloud. Assuming they tested it locally.
