I’ve been experimenting with this recently. Running services inside microVMs instead of plain containers makes the threat model easier to reason about, especially for multi-tenant or untrusted workloads. I’ve been trying it out on Northflank and the trade-offs become pretty obvious.

makes sense tbh. i’ve seen teams take that approach and only think about cost once it’s already a problem. ever had that come back to cause issues later?

yeah exactly. feels like the pricing model alone keeps a lot of folks from even starting. one wrong config and you’re done before you ship anything.

yeah that’s the part that gets me too. feels wild that there’s no built-in way to cap spend at the account level. even a “pause all” button would go a long way

agreed. old reddit actually works. no extra stuff and doesn’t get in the way

yep that’s the one. rough situation but the replies were interesting

yeah cost anomaly detector is underrated. do you usually set custom thresholds or just let it use the defaults?

yep this is the one. feels like a lot of people just copy-paste from stackoverflow without realizing they're hardcoding keys. have you seen this cause issues in prod or mostly in hobby stuff?

yeah makes sense. the idea that success = risk now is kind of wild. did you end up doing anything to limit that egress, or just ride it out?

appreciate the context. do you know if the platform itself didn’t meet dev needs, or was it more about rollout and team buy-in?
