Do not merge until superfly/ui-ex#5829 ships. Merge with #2507 so every docs page changes price at once.

Closes superfly/docs-tracking#344. Three pages quote Machine prices as fixed text, which #2507's calculator change doesn't reach. New figures use #2507's per-second rates and the calculator's formula (30-day month, sjc markup where the page says sjc). The same formula reproduces every old figure on these pages, so only the rates changed.

Page Before After
about/cost-management.mdx 3 x shared-cpu-1x 1GB in sjc: $20.37 $23.95
1 x 256MB in sjc, always on: $2.32 $2.62
Queue worker, 3 to 5 x 512MB at 50%: $5.72 to $9.52, worst case ~$19 $6.61 to $11.01, worst case ~$22
elixir/getting-started/migrate-from-heroku.mdx 1GB app server ~$5.70; 4GB / 2X CPU ~$62.00, 8 of them ~$496 ~$6.70; ~$66.00, ~$528
blueprints/shared-nothing.mdx see below

shared-nothing is a dated cost walkthrough, now brought up to October 2026 rather than left as a March 2024 snapshot:

  • Machines: 9 x 1GB at $6.70 ($60.30) and 2 x 512MB at $3.69 ($7.38), compute $67.71.
  • Fixes an arithmetic error that predates this change: "29GB at $0.15 per month is $1.35" is $4.35.
  • Total $74.39 (was $61.39), summary "around $75" (was $60).
  • Both date lines now say October 2026. They had disagreed: "early March, 2024" above and "March of 2023" below.

Volume ($0.15/GB), dedicated IPv4 ($2) and egress ($0.02 and $0.04 per GB) are unchanged and match about/pricing. The walkthrough doesn't include volume snapshot storage, which has been billed since January 2026; left as is, since it depends on how much data the volumes hold.

"two machine" should be "two machines". Also serves to retrigger the
build for this page, whose HTML is still serving the pre-merge figures
from #2525 while its Markdown twin and the other two pages from that
commit are correct.
