Really appreciate the insight into the challenges of usage-based billing. It’s great to see Fly and Metronome being open about how complex pricing can get with variables like regions, machine types, and bandwidth.

"Pricing migrations are like the worst version of data migration, and there’s money associated with it!"

felt this on a deep level as someone who's worked on billing. good read on how fly.io has been approaching it.

billing is one of those things that I realize is deeper and more complicated every time you talk to somebody who thinks about it for their job; usage based pricing makes it even more so, interesting to read about how companies are adapting to that
