tldr: stored 1pb in a GCS bucket. this persons twitter account is about how they have hacked growth and have had 3 number one apps, crazy growth, etc. well, I hope they can pay.
also, billing caps really don’t make any sense. a competitor could easily exploit that to take your service down. best to you know, architect your stuff correctly… speaking of architecture, creating a paas where you have a hard billing cap would pretty much obliterate performance as you would need round trips each time you do anything in order to confirm you’re not over the amount.
- danpalmer 2y agoDid they jump from zero to 1PB in one day? Or is this something like GCS usage only shows up on a Firebase dashboard view once a month? (I'd look this up myself but replies on Xitter seem to be Muskwalled)
- amazingamazing 2y agoyes, apparently on october 18th alone they managed to rack up a single petabyte, which honestly sounds implausible, but who knows what they were doing.
- kccqzy 2y agoThe thread said the app was only running for one day, so I think it wrote 1PB during that one day.

- layman51 2y agoIt would be better if your competitor made your app or project a popular hit.
- arlcode 2y agoI'd argue that depends entirely on your business. For example if your app has a physical component (e.g. a gadget you sell), having an unexpected inflow (by orders of magnitude) of costumers may very well exceed your capability to fulfill your side of the contract by months or years. And having to cancel or delay things infinitely can also be very damaging. So it entirely depends on what it is you are doing.
