You are locking yourself into a cloud provider that is a part of a really hostile country in terms of digital privacy. Your customers may not care right now, but they really should. If you can sell that kind of behaviour to yourself because you're "starting", then your customers deserve the kind of business they are getting from you. To me it sounds incredibly unethical.

- krageon 8y agoThere is more to the world than the US and China (both of which are terrible choices). Outside of those places there are also cloud providers that give good service at a reasonable price.
