> In no sane version of the world should "not adding a db index" lead to getting a 50x bill at the end of the month without knowing.

Oh, that would be actually quite useful for learning things if the bill would tell you that it got so high because you stupid dump-ass didn't use DB indices properly.

I'm every time shocked how many people using DBs don't know about indices! Those people should pay such a bill once. They would never ever again "forget" about DB indices I guess.

Of course I'm joking to some extend. But only to some extend…
