When it comes to cost, the article is wrong. What you do is get a quote from all the CDNs (akamai, fastly, cloudfront) and talk to your AM in the CDN you want about matching the other guy(s).
Our CF cost is .02/GB, no region delta, no request costs, for like a $2k commitment a month.
- LunaSea 4y agoThat's still one order of magnitude to high for video content.
- manv1 4y agoIt depends on what you charge your customers. But with higher commitments come lower costs. We will be dropping our cost down to .007 per GB when we hit a higher tier, but we can't do that commitment quite yet.
- LunaSea 4y agoThat's why a lot of companies will have servers on oldschool hosting providers for large servers or high bandwidth usage. Cloud offerings are too expensive for that currently. Some specialised CDNs also offer low prices without commitments like Bunny CDN: - https://bunny.net/pricing/ https://bunny.net/pricing/ (Am not affiliated with them in any way.)
- manv1 4y agoOoops, looks like our cost is .0095/GB, my mistake. No region.
