2. is obviously what should have always been the case, but it's good news to hear you've now gotten there. Every single hobbyist website would always choose downtime over a hundred thousand dollar charge.

With a properly configured nginx, you can easily serve 10's of thousands of requests a second on vserver type hardware. Netlify just offers these build pipeline kind of static site with cms UI.
But this is a good reminder why my gut feeling always made me avoid these overengineered solutions.
It wasn't the engineering that did it, it was the egress charges. But I think the IaaS tend to charge more for this than the clouds, who in turn charge more than the "servers for rent" people.
They aren't engineered, they subsidize (more) enginnering effort , and (are meant to) cost less as a result.
They do. But of course maximizing profit is the sole true prerogative of capitalist enterprises. And the market is not totally competitive. So yes your intuition was correct, to be cautious against over enginnered pricing to get y'a.
I mean those companies cater to hobbyist. Then ...
Render seems more fair-play. Until a change of mgt occurs of course.
