well, if you consider that they're probably just deploying on $5 and $10 digitalocean droplets, the 'unlimited' nature of the requests just means 'as much as your instance can handle', and there's a built-in profit margin.
- donutdan4114 11y agoCurrently the service is in rackspace, and it's not cheap hosting. But yes, "unlimited" means as fast as the service can handle among all the other requests that are incoming too.
- beachstartup 11y agowhy not just separate all the clients onto cheap discrete VMs running the api, and forward requests with nginx or haproxy or something?
- donutdan4114 11y agoThis service isn't designed to compete with something that has dedicated VMs and that kind of thing. It's vastly cheaper than most other data stores for this reason. Granted, it will scale for very heavy use. Right now, it's essentially launch day, so how much people use it will determine how I optimize it.
