That's an implementation detail that doesn't get at the root of why they are snuggling up to AWS. Their customers aren't just using virtual servers + S3. That is the important tidbit to grasp.
If I'm a customer that is using RDS, ElastiCache, S3, and who knows what else, I'm not just going to switch to Hetzner because I take on responsibility that I had previously delegated to AWS.
- ddorian43 10y agoBut the customer isn't switching. Hell, citus could even make the import themself (by having servers in aws to read from your s3 and push to their own servers in hetzner so you don't pay bandwidth prices). Just like people can use algora without leaving aws. unrelated: Have you ever thought, that the bandwidth pricing on the clouds is fucking insane ?
