Let me write some API in front of an APIs which abstracts the api that will use more APIs.
You got yourself a microservice architecture.

#14Suggestion, /mon -> /mo or /month or per month Number of API calls per month of 100K for $15 is just too low, you can have decent dedicated servers running per month for $5 & that could very well handle 86400*30 at 1 request per second.

I don't think this is a fair equivalence... But nonetheless I'm grateful you linked that! That's fascinating to read in hindsight.

I know it might sound not so logical for you, but it's not how pricing works.

Pricing is done based on value added. You can't directly compare it to a bare VPS server because by itself that server isn't providing value because you have to actually set it up, maintain it, etc.

Got any more of these? I love historical comments like this, from HN especially. It is really interesting (and entertaining) to see an idea being dismissed as trivial, knowing that it ends up becoming the core of a multibillion dollar company.
I suppose in the case of HN, I could probably use hn.algolia.com to find submissions of startups we now know to be highly successful.
