Nice. Do you have a secret sauce to get the price low or is it just a case of the usual overcharging by cloud providers?

Also read your twitter bio: I wont repeat here for privacy but would enjoy seeing stories about those things posted on HN

To the first question: A mix of both really. When you have a service this widespread, like translations, there's a lot in the vertical integration that can be more efficient. I mean, the project initiated from a different startup I built as a workaround for the cloud providers. It just evolved from that bottom-up thinking.

Thanks! Just for clarity, are you talking about the work experience, living situation, or startup ventures?
