Cost Per Request Analysis

How compilation lowers the marginal cost of every API call.

Published May 30, 2026

Request Economics

cost_per_request = compute_cost_per_hour / requests_per_hour

Example

At $0.05/hour and 1,000 requests/hour, cost is $0.00005/request. With 3x speedup, handle 3,000 requests/hour: $0.000017/request.

Margin Impact

For high-volume APIs, even micro-cost reductions improve gross margin significantly.
