So while it may be cheap it's still a cost. Is there a file size limit? What if I statically host CoolLinuxISOs.com? Surely that could end up costly or is it limited in some not identified way? What about handling major traffic from, say, if my website went to the front page of Reddit.com or any other popular website? Can it scale out and handle traffic spikes or even constant traffic?
I get this is more for small / tiny sites and it's really cool I just want to make sure I understand the costs associated.
- sethvincent 10y agoThanks, this is an important point. static.land itself may be best considered a demonstration of the open source software. If someone has significantly large files they're looking to host, they would want to host the staticland-api server themselves or consider other options. I'll add some text to the site about this.
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoGotcha. So curious, is there anything stopping someone from using up too much of your bandwidth? It's a cool thing but I'd hate to see some spammer get ahold of it and end up using thousands of dollars worth of bandwidth. I mean I'm sure you're monitoring it but you're not always next to a computer to put a stop to it. Just food for though :)
