@KyleJune

I would consider extremely difficult to setup a reliable system that could listen to webhooks and pause projects.

My main concerns are .. how can you test it and how can you be sure that it is working in all future.

..

Are you able to find the twitter post you mentioned?

Thanks again @doque

For me it seems a little overkill to build an automated system that can handle webhook that can pauses a project

Hmm .. to maybe I'm overthinking it .. could you describe the architecture needed to setup a system like this?

Thanks @doque !!

Even though I've been actively looking for this, I couldn't find it.

However, this solution ONLY provides notifications; it doesn't address the underlying problem. I could be sick for five days and not check my phone.

What I need—and, in my experience, what all larger companies require—is a method to halt consumption entirely, similar to Snowflake."

I deleted all my Vercel project, moved to Cloudflare, send this support message to Vercel:

Vercel seems like the perfect solution, and I love how it supports the development community.

I am moving all my current and future hobby projects away from Vercel due to concerns raised in this discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39520776

Although I am a very small customer of Vercel, I have been advising larger organizations on IT and data infrastructure for the last decade or so.

I can say with very high certainty that spending limits are a critical discussion point in every large organization when making IT decisions. I've observed multiple instances where a potentially better solution was not selected due to the risk of overspending.
