Now, I get that free is not an option. 50/100$ a month is probably OK. But that's beyond reasonable. And prices change depending on where people visit you from (!?)
It's really expensive to do that on top of CloudFlare, and most apps like that aren't using a tremendous amount of bandwidth.
We're not _yet_ a great option as a general purpose CDN replacement (both pricing and featureset) but we're getting there, and are pushing prices down continuously. It's more expensive to buy bandwidth and power in certain cities, too, hence the different pricing per region.
If you're willing, I'd love to know what your traffic breakdown is and how you got to that $1200/mo number. You can email me if you'd like! (kurt.mackey@fly.io)
For others who are reading this, the whole process involves reading and storing private keys using asymmetric ciphers and all that. Definitely more stuff than we’d like to be responsible for.
Will definitely keep an eye on fly.io for new features! Thanks
