Looks promising.<p>The file storage is extremely cheap. I&#x27;m getting prices in my current locale, but it seems like they charge about $0.0001 per GB of storage. B2 in comparison costs $0.005 per GB. They don&#x27;t charge for bandwidth but for download operations. They seem to be betting that most people will store small files.<p>They call the DB &quot;relational&quot; but I can&#x27;t seem to find anything in the docs about relations, joins, cascade delete, etc.

Any performance metrics regarding cold-starts of the underlying architectures (dev&#x2F;prod)? I hope Zoho don&#x27;t think they can mimic the big boys suite of offerings without wowing with any one thing.<p>If you are wondering what Free Light Use in the dev environment means here don&#x27;t hold your breath, it&#x27;s underwhelming. The docs say a total of 500k API calls MAXIMUM are allowed per app in the dev env, phased out quicker at their discretion if they detect prod-like usage. For contrast, Cloudflare workers is more generous and upfront 100,000 executions every day, 1,000 per min limit.<p>It&#x27;s the same feeling with their Zoho paid email service that is capped at this vague &quot;normal&quot; useage, it&#x27;s anyone&#x27;s guess what that is, they don&#x27;t reveal the numbers before squeezing you up to the next pay level. And on that topic $1.41 per 1000 serverless email sends is expensive when your typical domain registrar allows hundreds per hour as standard freebie.

Did 3 Zoho suite implementations over a few years.<p>Swore off using any of their products because the rough edges hurt badly on a daily basis.

In Lojban, &quot;zoho&quot; is an alternate spelling of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vlasisku.lojban.org&#x2F;zo&#x27;o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vlasisku.lojban.org&#x2F;zo&#x27;o</a> which means &quot;as a joke&quot; or &quot;in a joking manner&quot;.
