Self hosting is no longer realistic because all the data you actually want to compute on is now in the cloud. The egress costs of that data into your self host

Self hosting is no longer realistic because all the data you actually want to compute on is now in the cloud. The egress costs of that data into your self hosted environment would destroy you.
Imagine a world where the cloud produces more data at a rate that exceeds the pipes leaving the cloud. You are quite literally locked into computing within that same cloud.
- roynasser 6y agoIts very realistic! Its being done at this moment! (amazing, isnt it?) lfmao... but jokes aside, the "cloud" is just series of datacenters with less choice of a brand, you do realize this? There is no such "cloud" as you say... Internet allows exactly for decentralized data (among cloud-1a-b1-c2 to cloud-2b-5x-3h is not all "in the cloud", its the same as datacenterA to datacenterB.... proximity still has an effect, as do all other network conditions...) Dont let the marketing sandcastle trap you in!
