" which you cannot host a fully working copy yourself"
Sadly, no.
The majority of services have complex functions often requiring key data and updates, and it's just not possible, let alone feasible to 'self host' most things.
But it's a neat idea ... maybe there's a solution there ...
- dmitrygr 8y agoMake your own and host that, or risk this. again and again and again. If this was not a painful enough lesson, the next time will be. :)
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"Make your own and host that" You're going to host your own version of Google maps? Host your own version of 'background check' or 'credit check'? Host your own DB of global financial transactions? Host your own instance of weather data? Geospatial data? It's not possible in most situations, and not feasible in most others, unfortunately.
- dmitrygr 8y agoI'm almost entirely sure that Google is not in the habit of turning Services down with no warning. I guess I should have been more specific: never rely on a start-up to be here tomorrow
- Shish2k 8y ago> You're going to host your own version of Google maps? I've never worked on a service which involves the other things you mentioned, but I've worked on some map-based services, and we went with self-hosted OpenStreetMap instances for exactly this reason :)
