It definitely scales of complexity/surface area, and Id say that straight number is a lower bounds fixed cost that you might see from an unsuccessful “small” service. In larger orgs its better a percentage, because its relative to over

Three problems with this approach. 1. The ongoing “ktlo” (keep the lights on) maintenance cost for a minimal public aws service is on the order of 6 SDEs. Theres a constant stream of security and integration improvements like new IAM polic

AFAIK all wafer ingots are cylinders, which means the wafers themselves are a circular cross section. So manufacturing is binpacking rectangles in to a circle. Plus different effects/defects in the chips based on the distance from the

The term of art is normally “request coalescing” or “collapse forwarding”; I believe the later came from the 90s/00s via squid or ocean. Yes, multiple minutes to complete is very believable. Cloudflare reported 60% packet loss over ~10

See my related comment. It was a popular idea around 2005-10. As mentioned Red Swoosh was primarily sold as a “p2p” CDN, was bought up by akamai for a billionty dollars, and promptly disappeared. AWS S3 also implemented a torrent interface

Unless you have direct 1p knowledge Im very skeptical of framing that as a capability or capacity problem (“had to” “overwhelm” etc). Im very confident it was purely an effort vs benefit discussion. Which isnt too hard when the benefit is a

CDNs are much more than dumb http1.1 compliant content caches these days. And every CDN has a huge number of integrations and functionality. All of which have a different impleme tation and behavior for different providers. Its probably a

Kind of. Im pretty sure “public endpoint” is to disambiguate from virtual network functionality like VPC Endpoints and VPC Peering etc which are specific to your account/VPC. To your other comment, not many companies own the “layer 0”

Ive heard many variations of this along the lines of pennies and steam rollers. Yes, you have to have positive EV across the strategy. And just about everyone makes money when times are good, or theres volatility that matches your strategy,

As others said the product isnt the model, its the API based token usage. Happily selling whatever model you need, with easy integrations from the rest of your aws stack, is the entire point.
