We could (and likely would, despite the costs) but that doesn't address our testing requirements.
The control plane is on AWS.
We use 4 or 5 different cloud providers (Tailscale makes that much easier) but the most important bit is on AWS.
- nicoburns 6y agoWhy is testing Postgres/MySQL difficult? You can easily run a server locally (or on CI) and create new databases for test runs, etc.
- bradfitz 6y agoIt's not difficult. We've done it before and have code for it. See the article.

If not, is it due to vendor lock-in (for example, not being able to migrate out) or because tailscale doesn't feel the need to use managed offerings especially for core infrastructure?
