In addition, I wanted to point out another chief reason for building the API in-house. Based on my understanding of the pricing models of 3rd party API providers, our recurring expenses would almost have been a double-digit percentage of our revenue in the long run. This is excluding server costs, marketing costs etc. For the high volume traffic that we aim for, the numbers just didn't add up.
