Who do you see as your ideal customer here?

For a startup or side projects I doubt I have need for edge computing and using Digital Oceans app services should be good enough. Obviously you would be a contender here but not clearly ahead of DO because the need for edge computing is not apparent for most things. Where as DO sell their own compute and are more established.

On the other hand established companies probably want more control over the infra that a big cloud would give you. You have compliance and DR to think about as well as security questionnaires to fill in.

I am guessing there is a gap in the middle? Something like a one year old startup?

I do like the pricing model. It gives me confidence. You are clearly subsidising the free tier at $5.50/m and there should be no “shocks” that you get on other PaaS where the free tier is redicously generous in some dimensions but then the costs become untenable in other dimensions. With your model the free tier only differs in that there is a free allowance not in how things are measured. Which is good!
