I'm a bit curious about the cost/revenue ratio. Is 12.5% considered a reasonable ratio? I just checked our spend, which includes not only hosting but other IT related spends (helpdesk, email, slack, email marketing service, etc). I think our spend is around the 3-4% mark compared to revenue.
Now I'm not trying to show off or say we're doing things better. If anything, maybe this post can help me convince my cofounders that we should spend more on infrastructure hosting (there's lots of things we could improve). I'm mostly curious what's a typical ratio in other smallish startups.
