I don't understand what you mean. surge.sh and statichost.eu are both small vendors that offer redundancy. Are you saying they're not really small or not really offering N+2 reliability?
- FabCH 29d agoFrom what they list on the website, they don’t offer N+2 reliability / they are not present in sufficient geos to actually act as a CDN.
- mtlynch 29d agoWhich vendor are you talking about? As I mentioned upthread, statichost.eu uses Bunny under the covers, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that Bunny isn't a CDN. surge.sh has servers in 10 regions.[0] It's not trivial to run a static host with redundancy in multiple regions, but it's also not so absurdly complex that only large vendors can achieve it.
