I don't want unlimited bandwidth (I mean, it'd be nice - but I realize it costs money) -- I want predictable pricing and spending caps for my personal projects.
If I can't have that, then I just can't take the risk of my site getting hammered (by attackers, getting linked on HN, whatever) and racking up some kind of bill I can't pay. I realize the chances of that are small but that's scary.
I realize that, obviously, "stay up at all costs" is what a business needs and that's where the money is. Fly.io won't get rich off of personal projects. But, I do think they serve to get developers onto the platform.
Your bandwidth allocations and rates seem very fair and generous, btw. I do really want to check out your platform.
