So a price per GB today is about the same as it was in 2010. 16 year regression, wow!

Drawing a line backward from today's high water mark only goes back to 2018.

2010 prices were significantly higher.

The chart is also not inflation adjusted, which would bring the equivalent date forward even further.

Nowhere near a 16 year regression.

Nominal. The inflation-adjusted price today is 2/3 of what it was then.

sure but you also need more gb these days for various tasks so it's not 1:1

I wonder if developers will start trying to do more with less in certain areas

		Arguably they already did with the "cloud native" systems. There were plenty of examples personally known to me in the mid and late 2010s of smaller tech companies trying to run production PostgreSQL on 8-16 GB of RAM because they didn't want to pay the cloud RAM tax. Many "cloud native" systems were designed under these (mostly artificial IMO) RAM constraints.

		It's not 1:1 when you consider inflation either. Ram is still cheaper when inflation is a factor.
