summary
PyPI’s story is concrete: uploads land in 2005 and usage explodes, a CDN rollout puts PyPI behind Fastly which serves 5.6 million requests and ~800 GB on day one, a rewrite produces Warehouse and deploys MFA and audit logging, grants fund work (PEP 458 research $100k, $170k foundational award, $407k combined awards) and corporate gifts help (Bloomberg $250k). Today PyPI hosts 312,000 projects and in Q2 2021 served ~62 PB, monthly ops would cost roughly $18k and sustainable paid features are being explored.
