  Zesty.io is a headless CMS billed as tiered subscription plans that bundle CDN
  bandwidth, CDN requests, API calls, storage, users, languages, and SLA targets.
  All API access is included with the chosen plan; usage above the bundled API call
  cap is governed by plan tier rather than published per-call overage prices.
