Interesting. Why proxying though rather than monitoring DNS queries on the CNAME? And updating to point to the right ip when the server is live (This could maybe help with the 10gb base limit + $0.08/gb?)

Not trying to be an armchair coach but rather understand the architecture decisions and trade-offs that I must have missed

What happens where there are no servers live? Should the request fail?

I think they can point to some kind of a "Loading..." page that they can host? (SSL can be managed with Let's encrypt, since the CNAME is effectively controlled by them)
