@gokhan_egri as a native of New Hampshire, I can feel your shame all the way out in California. 🥫
Interesting approach but pricing is insane though
100$ per month is crazy for something that is open source
considering you can take a 5-10$ server and run the same thing
chowder.dev
@vadimg agreed.. this was a weekend project so the pricing was a miss will readjust
what's a good amount that would be comfortable to pay for an api wrapping around it making it more comfortable to work with?
@vadimg If you only need one OpenClaw bot, the $10 VM wins. Chowder's single API is for spinning up lots of isolated instances for users, wiring channels, and installing skills, so you don't live in SSH and gateway configs. Calling out the free Shrimp tier and per-instance billing would help.

Very cool - congrats! Where is it hosted? HOw do you think about security?
chowder.dev
@daniele_packard hey we're an aws partner so it's all hosted on aws.. the gateway is not reachable from the outside and can only be accessed through the chowder api which secures it standardly through api keys
what would you use chowder for daniele?
A bit expensive, but cool. Congratulations on the launch!
