CloudBoost looks amazing. I can tell they've put a ton of effort into the app, docs, and website.
This brings me to their problem... Pricing! Their pricing (https://www.cloudboost.io/pricing https://www.cloudboost.io/pricing) makes little to zero sense. First it is priced too low, a sign of future problems ahead. Second, I think they've got the entire model wrong. They should charge for bundles of API calls and GB of storage. Pay for what you use like cloud providers.
An example of pricing I would implement might look like $10 per GB of storage and $0.15 every 1k of API calls.
Thus a smallish example application that uses 2 GB of storage and makes 500,000 API calls a month would pay $95 / month.
- nawazdhandala 10y agoI'm Nawaz from CloudBoost. 100% agree. The idea was when you reach a $99 plan, we install CloudBoost on your own Cloud. But a pay as you go service makes a lot more sense. If you want to install the service on your own machine, you can always check out our enterprise / open source options. Thank you for your feedback again. This helped a lot.
- daddykotex 10y agoGood stuff out there. One suggestion I'd make is that you put a curl snippet where you show how to create apps. Something like: ``` SERVER=http://localhost http://localhost APPID=test SECUREKEY=key curl "$SERVER/app/$APPID" \ -d "{ \"secureKey\": \"$SECUREKEY\" }" ```
- nawazdhandala 10y agoGreat idea! :) We'll get the docs updated. :)
