Does this sound reasonable for running small workloads? 🤔

@prologic What is an mCore? 1/1000th of a core?
@mckinley Most little web apps, websites, static sites, whatever run perfectly fine with good performance on just 100mCores, a lot of what I run only has between 100m-500m of CPU allocated to it.

@prologic $0.50/month seems reasonable. Is this for cas.run?

You could do better with a super cheap VPS without IPv4 connectivity but not if you only needed to host one thing. It would also require significantly more effort on the part of the operator.
I would understand paying a small premium for using the lowest-cost tier, convenience, and especially if you operated a reverse proxy with IPv4 connectivity.
You could get better value for money with a super cheap VPS without IPv4 connectivity but it wouldn't be worth it if you didn't need the extra resources as a VPS wouldn't be practical with such low specs. It would also require significantly more effort on the part of the operator.

@mckinley Yea the idea is micro costs to the consumer. No one really does this, that I know of, which is frustrating if you want to run a few small things without the overhead of a whole server or the operational efforts.

@mckinley Based on your previous comment I think I need to reduce the price to a round $0.20

I think realistically a micro container like this needs to cost the consumer only $0.15/month if at all feasible

@prologic 0.15 to 0.20 USD sounds about right, compared to small VPS’s like those: https://www.netcup.eu/vserver/vps.php
It’s an interesting offer/concept, btw. Lots of minimal software doesn’t require lots of “oomph” and I’d be fine if my VPS was smaller. 🤔

@prologic $0.15 sounds great but you need to make money doing this. Is it still going to be use-based pricing or will there be tiers like conventional VPS providers?
@mckinley I was mostly only thinking about use-based. Is there a desire for than this?

@prologic That sounds great. The only other container-level hosting service I've heard of is PikaPods which seems much more managed than cas.run would be. It has customizable tier-based pricing and the minimum specs are 1/4 of a CPU core, 256 MB of memory, and "about 100 MB" of storage for $1/mo which seems awfully steep compared to a low-cost VPS. I don't know if PikaPods offers an IPv4 reverse proxy or not.
Actually, kyun.host might offer container hosting at some point.

Interesting. Good to see I'll have competition 😅

If I try and get a PoC up and running that's useful enough, any takers? I mean c'mon it'll only cost you $0.15-$0.20 🤣
