🫓 vs 📈 AWS introduced flat-rate pricing plans for website delivery and security, that includes CloudFront, AWS WAF’s application-layer filtering with DDoS protection bundled alongside, and Route 53 DNS.
The pitch: simple, predictable, secure. My read: for many customers that is exactly what’s needed — with each plan’s usage allowances setting the boundaries, so check what a tier includes and what sits outside it.
