- ahoka 3y agoNot everyone is DropBox. IIRC GitLab also wanted to switch but after long planning they found out it would be worse.
- candiodari 3y agoTrue, but even a single server is a lot cheaper on Linode, and cheaper still on OVH, even the best quality colo and dedicated server providers, than on any cloud. On-prem is going to be cheaper than that. And internet connectivity ... is more expensive than it was in 1990, and generally pretty much free in colo or dedi services.
