> $3600.00/TB/month

It doesn't have to be that way.

At Hetzner I pay $200/TB/month for RAM. That's 18x cheaper.

Sometimes you can reach the goal faster with less complexity by removing the part with the 20x markup.

200$/TB/month for raw RAM, not RAM that's presented to you behind a usable API that's distributed and operated by someone else, freeing you of time.

It's not particularly useful to compare the cost of raw unorganized information medium on a single node, to highly organized information platform. It's like saying "this CPU chip is expensive, just look at the price of this sand".

AFAIU, 3600$ is also a price for "raw RAM" that will be used by your common database via sys calls and not via a "usable API operated by someone else"
