Reddit is, I believe, the highest US traffic website that runs entirely on the cloud (as in they never invested in datacenters or POPs for traffic serving). To serve every single request they have to pay AWS and Fastly. I suspect that is wh

Thanks! This is incredibly helpful! I searched around a bit at like 3 AM while I was building it, but couldn't find a simple clean example like what you provided. Once traffic dies down i'll swap it out.
