$2700/mo is about 1/3 of an engineers' salary (cost to the business of a mid-level engineer in the UK)...
But, there's the time to set all of this up (which admittedly is a one-time investment and would amortize).
And there's the risk of having made a mistake in your backups or recovery system (Will you exercise it? Will you continue to regularly exercise it?).
And they're a 3-person team... is it really worth your limited time/capacity to do this, rather than do something that's likely to attract $3k/mo of new business?
If the folks who wrote the blog see this, please share how much time (how many devs, how many weeks) this took to set up, and how the ongoing maintenance burden shapes up.
