Re:Ask HN: Has anybody built search on top of Anna's Archive? by fazlerocks on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @09:45PM (#44187534)
The indexing costs would be nuts - Anna's Archive is like 200TB+ and growing fast. Even with decent search infra you're looking at serious compute/storage costs. Plus there's the obvious legal stuff that would make this a no-go for most companies with anything to lose. The decentralized thing they're doing probably makes way more sense.

How serious compute/storage cost? $10 000 per month? $100 000 per month?
