Heroku's pricing is wild. About a decade ago I just about fell out of my chair when I found out the startup I was at was burning upwards of $10k/mo just to generate QR codes (made out of html tables so that they would reliably display in emails). It worked out to something like $0.15/code
The lead who wrote it had never even profiled code before, after some changes we cut it down to ~$0.01/per, but that's still insane.
What in the world?? Surely there must be something more than "generate a HTML page with 500 elements". Any edge cloud hosting lets you do that for free.
