>We normally discount these kinds of attacks to about 20% of the cost, which would make your new bill $20,900. I've currently reduced it to about 5%, which is $5,225.
20% and 5% are quite a bit higher than forgiven.
I wouldn't want to be CEO these days. A lot are trained and paid to do damage control.
With all that money they then can finance the free tier until they get too far and become platform locked-in.
Surge.sh Im not sure. But shows all the sign of some greedy acquisition, regular long outages , as if I have been sitting as a free tier for too long, quick nudge to pay. For barely accessed sites even behind CDNs, steep. I even worry they one day just wipe all my buckets (they did for a few already) and support would recommend me to be a "normal" paying user .
Nothing is free. And nothing too good to be true is true .
