Assuming half of it is bandwidth costs, that means that a daily active user is using ~380 MB/day (assuming $0.01/GB). That seems pretty hefty as an average. Esp

Assuming half of it is bandwidth costs, that means that a daily active user is using ~380 MB/day (assuming $0.01/GB). That seems pretty hefty as an average. Especially if you consider the encoding snapchat uses puts each 10s video at about 1MB in size. 380MB is a little over an hour of snapchat quality video, that seems excessive as an average. If I were a major stockholder I'd be pushing to see why these hosting costs were so high.
- scurvy 9y agoCDN? Cross-region replication? DB replication/failsafe/backups? No idea, just spitballing.
- cstejerean 9y agoI think that’s $0.60 per quarter not per day. 380MB for the quarter per daily active user doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
- snaily 9y ago$0.60 for 380MB seems unreasonable, though. I think the GP was calculating based on the quarterly period.
- cstejerean 9y agoOh, you are right. I was thinking $0.006 not $0.60 when I did that math in my head.
