I feel like an application like collaborative editing would send so much requests that billing would have to be insane, right? Even for my hobby size projects which I would like to publish for fun, terrify me with possible usage costs.
Their hibernation web socket thingy is great, but the real thing that scares me is the overall web socket message cost.
Oh and somehow I missed the Hibernation API announcement. Paying for idle but connected time is what made me nope out of trying it out.
Edit: Oh wow, I totally missed the rate limiter thing as well. Just last week I was implementing my own using DO. It's great to see this developments.
You still have to protect the DO through some sort of auth and/or rate limits.
Don’t see how any of these issues are unique to DOs.
If I have to think about batching messages to decrease costs even tho my overall transport and execution would be the same, I feel like that's an issue on the platform somehow.
