It seems like on every request to my backend I have to verify the session cookie with ory, doesn't that add a lot of overhead if the kratos server is not near my api server?

Seems like I should use the ory cli?

As for the pricing questions @bulky-greece-49863 1. are the permission checks per day or per month? Are the active network peers per day or per month? Permission checks are per month so e.g. on the free plan 25k checks per month. The active network peer are o per day, so e.g. on the free plan 200 daily individual users 3. Does a network peer request include checking a session? An Active Network Peer is basically one user, they can make as many requests as needed per day.

The permission checks also seem kind of low if you take into consideration that most if not every request to a backend service requests permissions from keto to see if the user can perform a certain action

@magnificent-energy-493 Perhaps the "we don't bill based on monthly active users" should be reworded then. Because it while you don't neccesarily bill per user, it does impose a cap on the amount of users you can have on a single plan.

Sorry, not a cap, but perhaps extra costs at the end of a month

@steep-lamp-91158 Is there an opencollective for ory? Or a github sponsor page

If my project ever starts making money I'd be sure to donate
