Re:Now dev – Serverless on localhost

Am I the only one who wishes they would continue their v1 system work? It Just Works(tm) and was wonderful to use and easy to understand, especially from a pricing perspective. I feel like the gas pump style pricing for their serverless offering is shoehorning a pricing model that works well for vendors but less so for users. With that said, I really enjoy these guys/gals’ work and would love to work more with their platform.

Thanks for your feedback. We've actually received quite a lot of other feedback regarding the new pricing model and will – as a result – soon be working on a way to set custom alerts and limits, so that it behaves just like 1.0 pricing, if you want it to.
With regards to 1.0 "just working": Aside from making 2.0 more intuitive, we're heavily investing into tools that allow you to automatically transition existing applications to 2.0, so that would definitely help a lot.
An alternative, open-source solution to Now v1 is in the works: https://github.com/snowjs/cli/tree/secrets
Apex Up is a similar service:
https://futurism.com is using it too, but we're about to move to 2.0 :)
