Sorry for off topic question, but do you plan on doing anything about the egress prices?

I do understand that you are hosting your stuff on AWS, which is subject to AWS egress fees, but the egress fee is just way too much for any serious project (imho)

At this stage we're only using AWS for our infra. I wish we could lower the costs, but would be expensive for us to cover the AWS egress charges for all of our customers.

I assume you're not hosting your serious projects on AWS? Do you host them in another cloud provider?

Why not look into other cloud providers such as Digital Ocean? Much cheaper for compute and bandwidth.

we are definitely looking at other cloud providers, and slowly moving our infra away from AWS. I don't have any timeline on that - it's hard to migrate all of our databases, while also keeping up with the features that our community are demanding.
