It’s interesting to see how so many people here focus on specific line items on their costs. What it comes down to is management focus. It’s a lot easier to switch a CDN than to lay off two engineers as needs change.

I Do wonder why they don’t charge for API at all as even currency APIs charge and that is effectively public knowledge.

Very interesting though as this is some serious scale indeed...

Read an article where people were coming to people's houses demanding their phone etc. because the location for that "region" was mapped to their backyard.
