This makes no sense to me, I've worked jobs where the app was hosted entirely on perm and jobs where it's hosted in AWS. By far the AWS shops required more work. There's so many more limitations, random footguns, arbitrary rate limits, capacity issues, having to do "cost optimization" because it happens that what is simple and maintainable is expensive. Once you have a setup you like on-prem it will hum along until you decide to break it.
S3 is the one of the 7 technical wonders of the world but I would rather run Postgres/Redis/Kafka/RabbitMQ on my own hw than the AWS managed service given the choice.
- mindcrash 3y agoThe premise of cloud computing is click and click ... and you magically have a fully operational database up and running without ever thinking about the important bits like scaling and storage, because that's all managed away for you (as a example). That's what I mean with that. Funny thing is that you can easily do that on your own hardware using a solution such as KubeDB just as well these days, after you get through the pain of getting Kubernetes on bare metal operational.
