okay, someone give me a cloud development platform where I can host anything and do arbitrary executions for
a) single one time cost.
b) no list of approved or unapproved uses
c) unlimited free read bandwidth
d) all my users pay to change the application
I've looked at AWS, GCP, Firebase, bare metal and none of their offerings have the same pricing structure of blockchain nodes. The target audience for non-blockchain applications require a much larger funnel and friction to pay for anything, while my overhead costs of getting them into the funnel soar. Free tiers are okay but can't handle a spike in traffic. Audiences in the blockchain space have already crossed all the friction and have an insatiable demand for 1-click payment funnels.
This perspective doesn't really seem to arise in these conversations. But perhaps there is a counterpoint that I missed about some other cloud platform? This is very high impact for me and I can see many developers continuing to bring their audiences to this development platform.
