Greg Sadetsky:

Don’t you find Accelerator to be much more expensive than S3?

Garrick Van Buren:

I haven’t done the math comparing the two, primarily because I’m a strong believer in ‘you get what you pay for’, plus, interacting with S3 isn’t the same as interacting with MySQL. I have a hard time imagining the difference in price is so large that it overshadows the cost of learning how to be tied to Amazon.
