I surprisingly love using these kinds of environments and this one looks neat.

What’s going to be the pricing model moving forward. Surely voice and such can’t be free in perpetuity.

Nice work!

Good question! Right now we are fortunate to have some AWS credits to subsidize some voice costs :P. At the moment our focus is on usage, but our goal is to have a freemium model based on the size of the space, premium assets, etc.

AWS will jack you, be careful. Those credits get used up, free/cheap quota used, services grind to a halt and somehow you owe $500 after a week.

I mean.. you just have to pay attention. And maybe think about making a pricing page.

Personally I love the idea, especially 3D and programmability.

If you want to be „close” to AWS but still save money, try spinning lightsail instances that act as media proxies, similarly with other more resource generous providers. You could shift majority of media traffic off AWS and keep the “signalling” just there.
