My reason for centralized cloud solutions is also uptime. Multi-AZ RDS is 100% higher availability than me managing something.

- wavemode 11mo agoWell, just a few weeks ago we weren't able to connect to RDS for several hours. That's way more downtime than we ever had at the company I worked for 10 years ago, where the DB was just running on a computer in the basement. Anecdotal, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- sshine 11mo agoAn anecdote that repeats. Most software doesn’t need to be distributed. But it’s the growth paradigm where we build everything on principles that can scale to world-wide low-latency accessibility. A UNIX pipe gets replaced with a $1200/mo. maximum IOPS RDS channel, bandwidth not included in price. Vendor lock-in guaranteed.
