    I'd push back a little, the whole problem is that our flow let someone get to a surprising bill without it being obvious along the way. Looking back at support cases we have typica…

    Hey there - I partially disagree! We issue an invoice because the customer did consume the services - a lot of folks appreciate that, since it gives their AP team a real cost to wo…

    Hey - First off, fair point on the free tier email. This fits in the same theme of clarity vs. trust for me: if we say disruption, but then leave your account enabled, that still f…

    Hey folks - Greg here, I do product at Blacksmith. I want to say upfront - we've never pursued these invoices. If someone feels they didn't get value from the service, we've eaten …

    We work with supabase - so your DB still deploys out to them, but we cache queries in memory so they're significantly lower latency. Since we're offloading reads, we also help hand…

    ReadySet (readyset.io) supports the same style of caching and works with Supabase, if you want to check us out :) I have a few extra cloud invites: greg@readyset.io

    Hey, PM @ ReadySet - fair points, and thanks for checking us out. We've been in pretty heavy development and have been heads down on getting ReadySet into your hands as quickly as …

    ReadySet PM here - depends on if there are writes to the table or not! For example, MySQL deprecated their query cache, but previously it would only cache until there were any writ…

    Yes! We've thought about this in depth and have some ideas but I'd love to chat more. Shoot me an email: greg@readyset.io

    PM at ReadySet here - that's the idea! We think sub ms reads while still using SQL are pretty cool :) If you want to dig-in more, hop into our community slack: https://readysetcomm…

    Yes, still in the cards. Hoping to release this before GA - it'll be a part of our migrator.

    Hey, I'm on the PM team at Cloudflare. I think this is exactly right, but the truth is that developers are slow to adopt new databases and databases are slow to support a broad arr…

    Hey, R2 PM here - there's no question that the product will have 0 egress charges, regardless of destination. For archival use-cases, you do still pay us for data storage. We're re…
