Ask HN: Why no Amazon S3 like repositories?
There are many companies offering repositories. Are there companies with S3 like billing? Basically, where we are billed based on storage/bandwidth/requests?

Most major services offer different package deals, though you seem to want an on-demand service. Amazon offers exactly what you want:
https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/set-up-ci-cd...
looking around at other services: Gitlab won't add it to gitlab.com hosted repositories, nor does bitbucket seem to offer auto-magically rescaling + on-demand. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3314 https://bitbucket.org/product/pricing?tab=host-in-the-cloud
However you could run gitlab in an automatically scaling AWS package (or google cloud, azure, any other service that offers elastic packages).

Usage-based and metered billing? Yep, that's what we do at Cheddar. https://gtchdr.com/2sEFDAf
To some extent you'd be penalizing people for success.
"Your project blew up, pay us thousands of dollars" is a non-starter for a lot of places, and optimizing around small consumers isn't generally to a business's interest here.
