In China, during the early days of internet companies, compared to their contemporaries in the U.S.A., there was a significant difference in the use of servers: in the U.S.A., labor is expensive, servers are cheap, so
when programmers are creating architecture, they rarely consider server optimization.
If the capacity is insufficient, just add a few servers since it's not costly. But in China, the situation is exactly opposite.
The price of a server easily reaches millions, which for a startup is
an astronomical expense. Even in 1999 when overall prices were just a few yuan.
However, contrary to this, labor was exceptionally cheap.
