Say I want to use micro-1x with hard_limit/soft_limit = 20 and I get 40 concurrent request for one hour, would it cost $2.67 (micro-1 price) * 2? ($5.34) (monthly cost)
If that is the case, can I set a limit on how many instances I want to run at most?
Another question: is the price calculated per second or is it there just to compare it with other services? If it's per second, since you don't fully scale to zero, should I consider having always at least one vm active full time?
That's correct, though we bill per second and scale back down when your app is over provisioned. Right now we always run 1 instance so your app responds right away after a period of inactivity. We might offer scaling to zero at some point too. You can also configure min/max count globally and per region.
It seems like no two apps have the same scaling needs, so if you have any questions or can't make something work let us know and we'll help!
I have some questions about the pricing.
