- friedman23 5y agoI agree, it might be distributed in some way which is driving up the cost?
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe greed is distributed across the cloud provider's C-suite for sure. To be fair to them they refunded the bill afterwards according to the article but IMO we should not be accepting this kind of pricing models as normal. A million items isn't a big deal, distributed or not. If anything, if your distributed architecture makes reading a million items more costly than a single machine doing it then it's time to go back to the drawing board.
- williamdclt 5y agoThey mention that PlanetScale uses Vitess, so indeed it might be distributed
- cperciva 5y agoI'm not saying that it's not crazy. Just that it's less crazy.
- williamdclt 5y agoFair enough!
