70 GB Bandwidth consumed on Day 1 of Launch
Hey Indie Hackers, I was building a productivity music player app for developers and designers for last one month. Yesterday I launched it on Product Hunt and also showcased it on r/webdev subreddit.
I got good number of traffic from both websites. Got 25 Upvotes on ProductHunt.
And 50+ Upvotes on Reddit on day 1. Along with few encouraging comments as well :)
Almost 70 GB of bandwidth consumed on the day 1 itself. I didn't expect it at all, it really felt great after a month of hustling for a side project. :)
How does that affect your bottom line? Curious about the financial side of things.
I spent $25 buying new server as free tier bandwidth got exhausted :D It will be a freemium service in the current phase.
But what does 70 GB per day cost you? (assuming for the sake of argument that the number of users would stay the same)
I will need at-least
70 GB x 30 days = 2.1TB (approx.)of Bandwidth to serve same no. of customers.As per Digital Ocean's Object Storage pricing, it will cost me
$18/monthafter taxes.So the per day cost will be
$0.6/dayThanks for the details. It's helpful.
Congrats! I know that feeling :)
Thank you @anandrmedia :)
