Totally agree, we could for sure have build from the get go multi-region and multi-cloud but we had good reasons not to do it. Depending on the product, technology, ... would actually also strongly recommend almost every startup to do the same.
- whimsicalism 4y agoSeems bold to recommend everyone do the same as you when you are running in to problems you can't solve because of this exact choice you made.
- janober 4y agoI am still 100% sure it was exactly the right decision. Was however in hindsight probably the right one to choose Azure and/or that data center.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoIf you go under because of this, will you still be 100% sure? Everything is for sure until it’s not.
- PaulHoule 4y agoNo matter what stage of a service you are at you should have a documented procedure (ideally running a script) that can stand up a working instance of the system. This has vast benefits for agility and fast development when developers are not always fighting the build system and have a "no fear" attitude about deployment. If you have that, you can build a system in another region and be able to migrate wholesale to another region with more capacity and not be particularly concerned about the general problem of coordinating the service across multiple regions at the same time.
