Hasura CEO here. Totally hear you.

We're working on a new serverless infrastructure layer that'll make the pricing better for users compared to a DIY API server or to a self-hosted Hasura.

It's a significant engineering lift on our side - at its core we're engineering Hasura to achieve 90%+ infrastructure utlization (no cold-start, sub-millisecond auto-scaling), and that's what will allow us to do this.

Not there yet, but we'll be demo-ing and talking about the engineering at HasuraCon in June!
