> but also linkedin says that had up to 50 employees. highly doubt they were each making like 500k/yr cash on average

Cloud/servers/infra/where the bits live and move + people + misc biz expenses were assumed in my estimate.

if they were spending that much on cloud/servers/infra they wouldnt have a revenue problem... typically

They offered a nearly free runtime and free network ingress/egress. You’d only have to buy one $10 seat and use it for ETL to cost them a lot of money a month. No idea if anyone did that though.

most reasonable companies have limits to prevent abuse of that stuff, in the fine print. a professional company like airplane would not let that bankrupt them, this is rookie league
