## Resource

Episode 93 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo digs into the latest line item creeping onto cloud invoices: API gateway bandwidth charges. Lucas and Luna break down how AWS, Azure, and GCP are now metering data passing through their API management layers, often at rates that surprise engineering teams accustomed to free tier expectations. They walk through a real example from a mid-size SaaS company whose monthly bill jumped from $1,800 to nearly $5,000 after it moved traffic behind a regional API gateway. The episode covers the three pricing models at play, the fine print around multi-region egress, and one surprising mitigation that actually works. If you manage cloud infrastructure or approve cloud costs, this episode gives you the ammo to challenge a new type of opaque charge. #CloudComputing #AWS #Azure #GCP #APIGateway #CloudBills #CloudCosts #FinOps #EgressFees #Infrastructure #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #CloudPricing #TechTrends #CostOptimization #SaaS #DevOps Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
