Notes
AWS expense is back down to the mid-40s after the spike last month. I have made a change a few days ago to our AWS Cloudfront (CDN) configuration to make use of all their edge nodes instead of just North America and Europe. This will improve media download performance for our members in places like Asia, Oceania, and South America. I expect some cost increase because of this but not a significant amount.
We have some new donation subscriptions this month (1 yearly, and a couple monthly) which means an increase in our Stripe income this month. Thank you to the new donors!
We continue to make steady progress towards our next TFSF milestone of CA$3000. If you would like to make a contribution, you can do so here. Thank you all for your continued support!
That’s all from me this month, see y’all later!
