| New API effort | 1-2 hours | 1-2 hours |
| Scale effort | 4-8 hours | 1 hour |
| Distribute in other location effort | 16-24 hours | 1 hour |
| Min dev. environment costs | 1 machine = 587 euros yearly | 486 euros yearly |
| Min pro. environment costs | 12 machines + 8,500 euros (yearly) for production support = 15,544 | 28,288 euros yearly + 1,404 euros for VPN connection to private endpoints = 29,692 |
