Congrats to the team. Very nice project.
I'm interested in your calculation for compute cost savings. You have savings of 40k$ for 2k queries per second. I'm currently using GCP CloudSQL (Postgres) and have > 2k requests per second (for tables with billions of rows) for 200$/month. Is there a scenario that I'm overlooking?
Edit: Saw the explanation on your website. Apparently you're comparing it to AWS Aurora which charges for the amount of queries.
Yup, it's not the most sophisticated of cost calculator, obviously there's a wide variation in cost savings from reducing query and compute load and the reduction is app specific.
edit: we based some of the calculator variables on https://fauna.com/blog/compare-aws-aurora-serverless-v2-arch...
