What's the secret sauce of undercutting AWS prices? Grouping workloads together on EKS/ECS but presenting them as instances maybe?
Also, this looks like it is primarily aimed at new businesses who want to run ultra-cheap. How do you plan on keeping customers as they scale and mature?
> What's the secret sauce of undercutting AWS prices?
I'm only utilizing EC2 instances, storage and S3. Everything like databases, load balancers, NAT, even image storage is my own architecture and I'm not utilizing the value added services AWS offers for this and most would default to.

I'll be adding features like DB replication and failover and multi AZ deployments down the line. But you're right, I'm focusing on small to medium size customers that want to run cheap, but still have all the convenience of a platform like Heroku for example.
Thanks! I might sign up later to give it a spin. One thing I would suggest: In addition to the examples on your Pricing page - just a straight-up calculator would be good for me to input my own requirements and get a simple cost breakdown.

Great suggestion with the calculator. Will definitely add it at some point. Also thanks a ton for the feedback, it means a lot to me!
