What do you do if your small static site gets suddenly HN audience? Do you then pay thousands for the bandwidth?
For simple static sites, I always look at the egress rates and bandwidth caps. For example if you have Wasabi+Cloudflare, then you know the pricing before hand. Wasabi doesn't have egress fees even if Cloudflare were to redirect all traffic for a while to your files.

- hamburglar 6y agoThey say in their FAQ that a typical slashdot/reddit surge costs a typical site under $10. If you keep a $20 buffer you're probably fine, and the worst case is you burn through that and the site shuts off until you put more in.
