crazy expensive for long time waiting query ?

I am using windmill for some background job but with AI queries, it is mostly waiting but I get charged something a bit insane in windmill Any idea on how to fix this? since it won't be feasible to keep it that way for me.

basically each job is roughly 15 secs but maybe 10 secs are just waiting to get back something from an API and i get charged for those 10 secs anyway which really increase my cost

For now no, we might introduce more lightweight workers in the future and reduce the pricing for those but right now not really

I see, I guess I ll need to self host, maybe that will reduce cost ? i am confuse on pricing? can't i just pay 100$/month for one fix server ? with unlimit execution?

Sure you can and you probably should You will miss some EE features from the cloud but probably in your case it doesn't matter

You can still buy the self hosted EE license if you want

ok thanks, I wish I could stay directly with you , like with vercel and only pay when usage is really high

When we're the size of Vercel we might have more aggressive pricing plans but for now it's not our main audience
