Hello!
I was thinking in using Spaces as the object storage for a side proejct, and I have some questions about it:
-
Does DO Spaces have any kind of DoS protection against bots calling massively the assets stored there? I suppose the edge nodes cache will work for that, but just to be sure.
-
When using the CDN feature, does the bandwifth count double? One for the spaces <-> cdn transfer and another time for cdn <-> user?
If that is it, using the CDN with cache will not prevent you from huge charges due to bad bots, which can easily kill a side project.
- I have read that there are some req/s limit on Spaces, what are those? Do them apply to CDN too?
Thanks

Hi there,
If I understand your question correctly, DDoS attack should not affect your bandwidth allowance, and this is essentially inbound traffic. Inbound bandwidth to Spaces never counts against your Spaces transfer allowance, according to the documentation here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/details/pricing/#bandwidth
Spaces subscriptions include 1,024 GiB of outbound data transfer (from Spaces to the internet), which is shared between all Spaces. Additional outbound transfer is $0.01 per GiB.
Best,
Bobby
Hi there,
Quick update here.
As per the release notes on August 1, 2024, you can now view Spaces bandwidth usage as the invoices now include a breakdown of bandwidth usage and cost per Spaces bucket.
If you have 100 or more Spaces buckets, you can only view this breakdown in the CSV version of the invoice. To view or download invoices, see the DigitalOcean Invoices billing page.
