It is increasingly, vanishingly hard to not use the big three cloud services. Mainly because any platform or tool you might use is _also_ hosted on these clouds

I mean there's tons of technology stacks to choose from, but people get lazy and take the easy way out rather than learning to scale servers themselves. Get on Linode. It's base on Linux instances. If you build on Linux you are "free" and not "owned"

- WClayFerguson 6y agoThere's a lot of DBs to choose from: MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL. What you want to avoid is anything from Amazon or Google ANY other similar service.

In my experience most developers just inherit the infrastructure and even the base project from someone else. They've never stood up a server or configure anything from scratch so they have no idea what they're doing.
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y agoI've been telling people for ages that, even if they want to use a pre-built solution, they should at least set up the base systems a few times to get a better felling for them and.
