A total package!

Speedy is not just one thing, but, many folded into one, it offers individual developers and companies the following

  1. 20x — 30x faster RESTful API development
  2. RESTful platform with custom coding with Java Script
  3. A robust, scalable and highly performant Key-Value store
  4. Function as a Endpoint (FaaE)
  5. Zero downtime during endpoint updates
  6. Instant API (aka endpoint) availability; literally in milliseconds
  7. AEAD compliant security enforcement from ground-up

Cost savings

Typically a single RESTful API endpoint in traditional methods take about a day or more (upto 3 days, from our experience). Each API costs about $160 — $500 to develop alone, barring the maintenance cost along the way. A decent KV store costs somewhere between $2 — $10 per month. There aren’t much products similar to that of FaaE of Speedy, mostly developers have to build one, and any decent effort costs $50 at the minimum.

Speedy helps developers and companies save money on this front straight. Literally one can develop endpoints with Speedy in matter of minutes instead of days. Let’s not forget about the hosting cost associated with traditional development and deployment. Speedy can be hosted on $4 droplets on Digital Ocean and take in as much as 30 concurrent connections on it! that’s unbeatable price to performance ratio with Speedy.

Developers can get started for free and go to market for free if they are not expecting more than 5 concurrent requests per minute. The trail version will remain free forever.

Pricing

To understand the pricing for Speedy one must understand the concept of ‘Rate Limiting’; which generally refers to limiting/containing the number of requests in a given time period. Speedy works in minute boundary so that requests can be averaged out, a per second would prove to be real costly for the users, hence, we have adapted to minute boundary.

Speedy pricing is straight forward. The pricing is calculated based on number of requests to be allowed/served by Speedy in a month (aka rate-limit). There is no limit on number of definitions, key-value pairs, function endpoints, CPU, RAM, disk and network. This further extends to number of connections from Speedy to backend database too. As a user of Speedy one can open as many database connection as they wish.

A license when purchased is restricted to one single node (aka, the machine or VM or container on which it runs). To purchase additional node license you can mention it in the license purchase itself, so that single license file can be applied on multiple nodes. The cost is simply multiplied with number of nodes it has to support.

Speedy for Business costs USD 25 in the base plan, which comprises of the following benefits

  • 1 million requests to Speedy over a month time
  • Additional 1 million request is priced at USD 19
  • 1 free support ticket credited per month per license
