Related to the thread, How practical is it to setup the distributed routing stuff of fly yourself?
Seems you have to buy an anycast-ip from somewhere or become your own ISP/network provider, configure a bunch of bgp routers & routes but that seems impractical for most. Stuff like Akamai, Cloudflare, Route53 have anycast-dns but that seem specifically for dns queries, not responding to a query and routing it somewhere.
Is it a problem that's just too big and difficult that you can't really self-host/spit-and-duct-tape your own system?
- tptacek 4y agoYou'll need to acquire a /24 (that'll cost somewhere around $15,000), and then sign a deal with an upstream network provider who will accept BGP announcements. The actual networking part of it isn't that hard. To make the /24 worth it, you'll want a bunch of different regions, so you'll be paying for hosting in each.
