Guilty! I spent so much time recently asking myself and trying to optimize my app and stack:
- what if people upload files that big, what about the bandwidth cost?
- what if they trigger thousands of events X and it costs 0.X$ per thousands?
Fast forward months, it's a non issue despite having paying customers.
Not only I grossly exagerated the invidual user's resources consumption, but I also grossly exagerated the need for top notch k8s auto-scaling this and that. Turns out you can go a long way with something simpler...
- xandrius 2y agoYeah, I have to keep fighting the feeling that I'm not doing things the "right" way as they are so unlike the $JOBs$ I had before, with availability zones, auto-scaling, CDNs, etc. I have the most adhoc, dead simple and straightforward system and I can sleep peacefully at night, while knowing I will never pay more than $10 a month, unless I decide to upgrade it. Truly freeing (and much easier to debug!)
