Hmm community handles is actually a little more expensive to host than I thought, especially if it gets popular. Any ideas how much is reasonable to charge? I went with £10/year initially but I’m thinking maybe a smaller amount but monthly? Bare in mind, I just want the cost to cover Vercel Pro

Maybe £5/mo? Then I’d need 4 customers to cover Vercel costs and above that would go to pay back domain costs
1 1 1(My thinking behind £10/year was just basically a one time payment for me to set it up. Seems now though that there will be operating expenses so that model might not work so well)
1 2Do the operating expenses scale per handle?
1 1Yeah - basically just traffic. Vercel’s storage is expensive, I guess I could migrate the data but that would be difficult and I don’t want to
2 2Just curious how much traffic/data was required for this? You’re serving handle resolutions over http?
1 15768 KV requests - yeah I am. Probably misusing Redis, I will need to refactor to use postgres instead
1 2Vercel's free tier is 30000 KV requests/month, which I will probably reach if this keeps up
2 2Not sure exactly how you use it but I think Cloudflare’s KV free tier is 100,000 (read) requests/day.
1 1Huh guess I’m surprised it’s getting hit that much. Idt our server checks that often 🤔
1Feel like it shouldn’t be hard to get four customers especially if bluesky keeps growing. Definitely wouldn’t invest time in reducing costs at this point.
