All the cloud providers have cheap compute but ludicrously expensive network egress. Trying to multicloud will stick you with a massive traffic bill, which is probably not a coincidence.
- jamesblonde 1y agoIt's a market regulation failure. Which results in a failed market, with the cloud infra provider also providing data services. 20 years ago, there were 20+ widely used operational databases. Now, it's like DynamoDB with like half the market.
- conductr 1y agoHow should this have played out in a regulated market? DynamoDB gets released, then what? Has limits on the market share it's allowed to steal? Should we similarly cap say Front End frameworks on market penetration / growth? Is react too big to fail? Do we need to force some of it's users to use something else?
- jimbokun 1y agoWhat would these regulations say, exactly?
- starman55 1y agoIt really depends on how you will built it. You can architect it for multi cloud from top down where the client/browser talk to one region, With DNS with health check, and replication happens at the DB layer. Your services don't talk cross region at service level, so avoiding a lot of cross region/cloud communication. Most use cases can be addressed this way.
