edit: if you're going to downvote at least let me know why. I hold HN on high standards. DO is a fantastic value proposition. Reminds me when I was gathering cryptocurrency prices from exchanges and needed the lowest delay possible so an algorithm could protect me from pump-and-dumps. In my testings, a $5/month machine from Digital Ocean was the fastest to fetch prices from Bittrex. I got prices within 0.2 milliseconds (yes, under 1 millisecond). It was unbeliavable. The algo failed miserably ofc. Mostly because Exchanges price API tend to be unstable. Often giving stale or no data.
