Congrats, your raw EC2-hosted 500MB WebGL experimental card game went to the HN Front Page! You now owe AWS $30k in egress costs.

Well this is the dream right ?

You build something, well enough that it can handle the traffic, and people come, and it does.

Welcome to the gaming industry

No, it is not the dream. The same thing on Hetzner or Linode would cost $30 instead of $30k.

Yes it is, we call these dreams a nightmare

Egress costs have substantially reduced (thankfully)
