I didn't realize they had a (effectively) scale-to-zero option! Is it possible to store a bit of state, or is the bot entirely for ephemeral responses? I wasn't clear on what storage would be available from their pricing page.



Both bots I run are just for ephemeral responses, so unfortunately I'm not sure. I tend to be well under the $5 threshold, though, even at 2x bots, so it seems like there's plenty of wiggle room for more storage without incurring totally nutso costs.

(And even if you do exceed the $5 threshold, it's still waaaaaay cheaper than other options I've seen. RIP to Heroku's free hobby tier.)
