Comment on Building an API in 60 seconds, without any server setup

Comments

This looks like a great service!

Is there a way to sign up for a paid account or a credit system? I don't want to burden you guys with the costs of my API requests.

We should do an Ask HN about this :). Would love your feedback on what makes most sense.

People have messaged me asking for pricing tiers based on rate limits / usage, or purchasing company machines to run all apis from, or even paying for extra privacy (like on github).

What's most fair / makes most sense for you?

To be completely honest, I'm not sure. I would say charge by the total amount of time the VMs have run, but I have no idea how the costing will work out.

Good luck!

That's a great point. And since people aren't running dedicated machines, only paying for the requests that happen, it could even be cheaper than spinning up your own server. Interesting!
