AWS Rolls Out Flat-Rate Plans—Even Viral Traffic Won’t Raise Your Bill

AWS just launched new flat-rate pricing plans that remove all overage charges, even if your website goes viral or is hit by a DDoS attack. Each plan includes CloudFront CDN, AWS WAF, DDoS protection, bot management, Route 53 DNS, CloudWatch Logs, edge computing, and S3 credits—all for one predictable monthly price. The plans range from Free to Premium, and you can upgrade anytime without an annual commitment. AWS says this change makes cloud costs easier to plan and helps users avoid surprise bills. Developers are already excited, saying this could make it easier to build and scale apps without worrying about unexpected charges.
