We've video/image processing apps and need powerful hardware with uptime guarantees. Dedicated servers are the most cost effective, no virtual or Amazon SWS. What do you use? Currently we have servers that cost around 100$/mo for a Xeon 1270 with 16gb ram, but the uptime is not that great, downtimes are frequent.
We know plenty of more expensive solutions (for instance for metadata & cdn we use Softlayer which is expensive and more reliable), but we need cheaper options. thanks!
We've developed some Android apps that have achieved some popularity (4M~ downloads in total). We've been contacted by Amazon reps trying to entice us to support Kindle's API. We're not sure if it's worth the hassle, though (would require lots of code patches and separate compilations), so we wanted to ask the community: have you done this? do you have any comparison between Play Store and Amazon's?
thanks!
