- joshmanders 2y agoWhy wouldn't you? If you decide to not use a PaaS and self host your own servers would you reach for a VPS or would you manage your own rack in a colocated data center?
- jpgvm 2y agoPrecisely, it's just about which abstraction and responsibility level you want to engage with. Managed k8s (from good vendors) means the scheduler is as far as you need to go which is enough to do a great many "self hosted" things.
- abound 2y ago"Self-hosting" doesn't necessarily mean you own the hardware. Many people self-host on cloud providers at different levels (Fly, Digital Ocean/Hetzner, GCP/Azure/AWS), and most of those have some managed K8s offering.
- anonzzzies 2y agoYeah and, as I see with my clients, you are always overpaying for that service. We run a one binary CL (save and die) cluster for $50/mo without containers that makes us millions $ profit a month. Even if it would cost $1000 (it would be far more); a) I rather give that to someone on the street b) it would be far far more busy work for no benefit. Anyone can do what they want; I like profit and I simply don’t like giving these companies money. But each their own. Tau seems the same philosophy as us, so I will add them to our sponsor list.
