1) 60k queries? I burn through that in an hour. All it takes is the Google bot and some shitty AI scraper to come along and crawl our site - which happens every single day.
2) $18 per million? I don't know how many queries I need per day, at the moment, but give 1), I will surely burn through a million dozens of times oer months...
...at which point this thing will be just as expensive as an RDS instance on AWS, potentially even more so if we hit traffic peaks (every single user causes hundreds of queries, if not thousands).
3) I don't even understand who to interpret the egress cost. No idea how to predict what the pricing will be. Maybe some calculator where we can slot in the relevant estimated values would be nice?
