I wanted to use supabase for one of my pet projects, but, unfortunately, the egress fee is just way to high, $0.09 per GB. I am not sure if it is viable for any serious project.
- krageon 5y agoyou pump more than a GB of data out of your db in a month?
- csunbird 5y agoI might have as well, but the egress fee also applies to the object storage.
- keviv 5y agoAgree. Else, they'd have been my default choice.
- kiwicopple 5y agocan I ask which cloud provider you use? we're currently on AWS so it's a bit hard for us to price lower, at least until we go multi-cloud
- csunbird 5y agoI suspected that you were using AWS as the cloud provider. I went with Hetzner instead, and I manage my servers by myself. I have been looking for providers in case that things do get serious with the project, as I do not have the experience in system administration, but I could not find any good offerings with reasonable egress rates, as the project does transfer large amounts of data.
- kiwicopple 5y agothanks for the feedback. Hertzner are a great option. I hope companies like cloudflare/backblaze/etc can continue making noise about the AWS egress rates to put pressure on them, although it looks like they will remain high for a while and so our hands are tied.
- deepu256 5y agoThanks to cloudflare, they recently expanded the limits on the free plan. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-data-transfer-expansion-100-gb-from-regions-and-1-tb-from-amazon-cloudfront-per-month/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-data-transfer... I think if Supabase allows us to attach our own S3 accounts, then we can take advantage of the expanded Free tier
- cyberge99 5y agoR2 isn’t really a separate cloud but it may be a potential option.
