18. 18 Story 3 – Running on empty  Here is a startup story. For which I am consulting currently.

19. 19 Story 3 – Running on empty  The Website is completely functional  But we are still doing a restricted beta  So its not open for public yet and the load is negligible Now guess how much we are paying for it today

20. 20 Story 3 – Running on empty  The Website is completely functional  But we are still doing a restricted beta  So its not open for public yet and the load is negligible Approx. INR 0/- per month

21. 21 Story 3 – Running on empty  The Website is completely functional  But we are still doing a restricted beta  So its not open for public yet and the load is negligible And the same setup can be scaled to handle 10,000 users with a single reboot.
