“In response, Vercel’s CEO publicly offered to personally cover the hosting costs and help the team optimize the site to reduce future bills.”

47 is crazy honestly, even if you used aws, you'd be able to do this for like 10-15x less than that lol. most of this is vibe coded anyways, no reason to use vercel here tbh

If they used ClaudFlare it would be 0 for static files

When I heard $47k, I immediately thought they were running a pretty big database. A static site with should be pretty much free on Cloudflare. I’ve hosted similar and larger sites for much, much less

is no one else worried about the hallucination rate from parsing the emails using genAI?

Why are you talking about optimization 😂. It was a free site. A VPS would do it, If it breaks due to traffic it doesn’t matter.

Why would anyone use vercel instead of a personal vps? So easy

wut :
this has to be poorly cached or not properly set up on cdns. there's just no way that a bunch of non-static data could rack that up

I really enjoyed this. I’ve never built anything like this before. So I really had no clue how expensive to do something like this is.

As soon as that bill hit $1000 I would be trying to cache everything, how did they let it run up to $47k 😭
