If you're ever trying to get big enterprise contracts, the kind of scalability, compliance and disaster recovery that providers like AWS/Azure enable are now just table stakes.
Sure, you can get something working on Hetzner but be prepared to answer a lot more questions.
- axelthegerman 4y agoYes fair point though I doubt some of these super distributed, scalable apps are able to properly execute a disaster recovery... And just because all the serverless components scale "infinitely" doesn't mean the patchwork stitching them together is. Agreed on your last point of enterprise asking for this which again is just sad that these business "requirements" dictate how to architect and host your software when another way might be the much better one
- jwr 4y agoI run a self-funded SaaS business, so I only deal with real problems, not imaginary ones. Disaster recovery is a very real problem. Which is why I test it regularly. In a scorched-earth scenario, I can be up and running on a secondary (staging) system or a terraformed cloud system in less than an hour. For my business, that is enough.
