How would you envision supporting 10X the usage that you have today 1 year from now if all that usage is falling under your "free" plan constraints?

More throttling?

It's funny because of all the crickets. I asked a question after the OP requested one and I've seen no response in 5 days. :shrug:

Hi, this is Dylan, another co-founder and engineer. I'm sorry we dropped the ball here. As you can imagine, it's tough to respond to every request and we've been a bit busy since launch, but I apologize we didn't get to yours.

All of us were early employees of BrightRoll [1], an advertising marketplace that handled 10 million requests / second at peak. We've scaled large systems in the past and we've built this system with scale in mind.

Believe it or not, most workflows are extremely low volume. That, in part with the design of the system, allows us to offer the generous free tier.

We're planning to introduce paid tiers soon. You can see my comment on the parent thread that addresses some of the general questions around pricing asked by others in the thread.

This was a very early release of the platform and we hoped offering the product for free would encourage experimentation. To a great degree, we've seen that, so we think it was the right choice.
