> The standard price for a GB of egress from a cloud provider is 10x what you pay racking a server in a normal data center.

Oh, that’s too kind. More like 100x to 1000x. Raw bandwidth is cheap.

It was a weird point to make in the post given that exe.dev charges $0.07/GB for transfer. That's arguably worse than the major clouds, who charge about the same for egress but give you free ingress.

		Author here. I need to fix our transfer pricing. (In fact I'm going to go look at it now.) I set that number when we launched in December, and we were still considering building on top of AWS, so we put a conservative limit based on what wouldn't break the bank on AWS. Now that we are doing our own thing, we can be far more reasonable.
