Comment on Google's goo․gl links will stop working in August 2025
jonne@infosec.pub 5 months agoProbably like $50/month in cloud resources if you turned off all the extra stuff and only did redirects and kept it around in read only mode. You’d need to do some dev work up front and price that in as well, obviously.

$50/month would barely scratch the surface.
Let’s take a conservative approach, and say there are:
Now you’re looking at 100GB of raw data to put into a database, that needs to return 100K answers/second, in less than 50ms each, worldwide, 24/7.
What is your estimated cloud cost for something like 256GB of RAM, 128 cores, 10Gbps connect, replicated across several zones, and 1TB/day outgoing transfer?
That’s only for the redirect responses I read-only mode, nothing else. You will also need some maintenance to keep it 24/7, for when the server catches fire, or gets obsoleted, and when new exploits come up against your software stack.
