Early-stage experiments shouldn’t feel like running cloud infra for a bank.

More soon 🚧

Now I’m rethinking my backend strategy for @Figma Make projects —

lower cost, flexible, still robust.

Two shifts at once:

how we build ⚙️
how we pay 💸

At the same time, Figma’s credit system changed, adding new limits depending on account type.

That adds up fast when you’re experimenting a lot.

A pretty salty invoice ($534.09) later… lesson learned.

Reality check 👀

@Supabase charges $10 per project, even if it’s a test project with almost 0 usage.

Several of these apps use @Supabase as a backend:
auth, storage, basic data stuff.
