The article mentions Digital Ocean provides the infrastructure so it seems the only cost is dev time. It reads almost like a promotional for DO with all of their services mentioned, which is probably why they support it to begin with.
- emilfihlman 7y agoI though about that, too, but that's not any different from using AWS specific services. I actually now realized why they use bloody annoying different names: it's free marketing when someone writes about how they implemented stuff instead of having a generic name.
- robocat 7y agoDifferent names are alto useful for negatives. Someone writing about an issue with their CDN is far less useful than saying the issue occurs with Akamai. In general I like to see brand signals: if someone I respect mentions that they use Cloudflare, that is useful information, even without further details. Unsolicited mentions are usually useful, it's just sneaky paid advertising is bad.
