Majority of HN seems very heated about $171/month. My company pays 100x that just for our RDS instance (granted we store a lot of data). If you told me 5 of our users ended up costing us 10k/month in operational costs, I wouldn’t even blink.

55k users is very valuable. If you make a single cent per user per month, you’re in the black operationally (not counting dev time). If you make that into a dollar, you get to quit your job and be upper-middle class indefinitely.
