My question with this kind of setup is: what if a malicious person (or just an unexpected success on HN) gets me a gazillion request, do I end up with a $10k liability ?
I'd rather have the site go down than me go broke, so is it really a good idea ?
- StreamBright 9y agoThis is ehy you can create budget limits in AWS. DDOS to your site is not legitimate traffic and AWS will provide you protection against it. Cloudfront is limited by default too. I cant remember the actual req/s but there is a limit. You can also limit access to certain countries where your legitimate users are.
