Everyone should be using Spot instances for all web and background job workloads.

Your requests should be timing out after 60 seconds tops, and your background jobs should be resumable (or at least idempotent). Spot is not a problem. Take the 70% savings off your AWS bill.

@nateberkopec but what if my web application needs to load all the rainbow tables in memory at startup? 😂 🤣

@nateberkopec interesting 🤔 at work for one of our projects we use background jobs to process audio files (using ffmpeg)but it could takes hours to process one file. Does it means that we should not be using background jobs for that? Or maybe that they should stop once the command has started?
