Wow. ~US$40k/mo running costs, with about US$5k/mo for server hosting:
It looks like the servers are individually managed via OVH or similar, rather than running their own gear in co-location or similar. Wonder why?
Easy: If something is wrong with the physical gear it's OVH's problem rather than theirs. It also means no one has to ever go to the data center which is probably important for a geographically distributed team (I assume they are). Cheap, no-frills cloud is extremely underrated, IMO.
