What this site costs to run
Cost governance is part of the platform-engineering job, not just something to preach about for other people's infrastructure. Here's an honest, line-by-line breakdown for kamal.sh itself — the domain is a real, confirmed number; everything else is $0 on a vendor's free tier, not an audited bill.
Domain (kamal.sh)
The one real, confirmed number on this page — ₹8,000/year for the .sh domain, converted to ~$96/year (~$8/month) at a rough ₹83/$1 rate. Everything else below is $0 on a free tier.
$8
Hosting (Cloudflare Workers)
Free tier covers 100,000 requests/day, far beyond what a personal site needs.
$0
Static assets & edge caching
Included in the same Cloudflare Workers free tier as hosting.
$0
Transactional email (Mailgun)
Contact-form volume is low enough to stay on Mailgun's free tier. Account setup is still pending, so this is a forecast, not a bill.
$0 (est.)
Fonts (Fraunces, Switzer)
Self-hosted under the SIL Open Font License and a free Fontshare license — no font-hosting service in the loop.
$0
Booking (Cal.com)
Cal.com's free tier. This site only links out to it — no paid API calls.
$0
Total
~$8/month (~$96/year) — almost entirely the domain
