Camelcamelcamel is livetweeting a physical datacenter move
- danjayh 10y agoI wonder what kind of bandwidth they're getting with their car (suv?) full of servers. More seriously, though, wouldn't something like camelcamelcamel be a perfect candidate for AWS or something similar, thereby preventing headaches like physically toting servers hundreds of miles?
- L1quid 10y agoLast I checked, just one AWS database instance would cost us $20k+/year if we pre-paid for a reserved instance, and that doesn't include all the usage-based fees (storage, iops). And it's only a headache if you dislike spending two days in the car / colo / car / colo.
- ByteCollective 10y agoA lot of furious camelx3 customers right now. How in the world will they be promptly notified of amazon price drops!? And why the hell doesn't amazon acquire camelx3 already?
- L1quid 10y agoWe did indeed live tweet it. Just wanted to keep our users aware of our movements, and avoid the "camel has died forever" fears.
