- DoctorOW 4y agoIs this actually practical for a personal blog? I can't find a thing on their pricing page listing an exception to their minimum of $50/month for bandwidth. Blog posts of this size would have to be millions of page views a month to even make the minimum.
- chrisweekly 4y agoCool! Thanks for the link! This looks like maybe the most appealing option to me. EDIT: ... from a technical / DX / ergonomics perspective, that is. Pricing? Not so much.
- fyzix 4y agoLast time I checked, Fastly charges a minimum of $50 so it's not viable when all the other hosts has a free tier and completely free (github and cloudflare).
