I don't fully get how you can DDOS this service as it seems you need to give your credit card to sign up. Can't they block the API keys with issues and be done

- JackWritesCode 6y agoPublic access point. The server accepts pageviews, so they DDoS'd that.
- joana035 6y agoThe article mention the use of lambda/serverless. If he had a server many of these issues would not exist in the first place :)
- joana035 6y agoAnd I does not looks like a DDoS either, this amount of connections is quite normal for mid-sized apps, and connections can be kept open in case you app is slow, making your stats higher than it actually should be. Btw, two servers plus a bit of architecture simplification solves this and cut the costs down to ~$400 or less.
