After doing some math it doesn't feel like a ddos:
- $104k at ($55 / 100 GB) = 189 TB of traffic
- It means the popular ~3.5 MB media file was downloaded ~54M times
- Which sound like a lot, but if you get popular in a country with 1.4B people, it's not (~3% accessed).
What if it happens at AWS Cloudfront? At $.1/GB it sums up to ~$18k. In the light of these, Netlify's offer of ~$5k seems generous.
- hayst4ck 3y agoThe author claimed Netlify's own support agent said it was an L7 ddos and offered a 95% concession because it was a ddos. There is no reason to question whether it was a ddos or not because, allegedly, both parties in this dispute already agree it was a ddos.
