Let me make it simpler for you. If say Google were to not follow the GDPR for example, even if they didn't have any European subsidiaries, the EU or a member country would simply make all Google customers pay their subscription fees to

It's a good metaphor for a good part of the startup scene: good looking gift wrapping around tools built by smarter people.

If you have customers in the EU than the court has jurisdiction. If the company doesn't comply, fines will be directly taken from customer payments for example.

They are however far from service parity with AWS, Azure and GCP. I can't speak for Hetzner but OVH has also availability issues.

That is exactly the problem at hand. It's a combination of low to no enforcement, competitivity-killing laws and unrealistic efforts for said companies to take on.

European states simply sue in their own territory or in front of the European Union Court of Justice.

All of these will absolutely contain PII every time.

I've talked with companies like that as well and they start with strict rules and end up allowing clouds because no solution is compliant anyway.

I have never seen a company without Google Search, Google Chrome, AWS, Microsoft 360 and the lot. Which alternatives are they based on?

I would be glad to be shown a company with AWS, Google Chrome, Google Search, Slack and all the usual suspects.

But it's the wrong approach. The correct approach would have been through syscall blocking which is a much lower level.

Deno is the "these go to 11" of the Node.js world. Creating a whole fork simply to not build TypeScript, reinvent a worse package management system and a useless security harness.

If you're simply using EC2 hardware I agree but then you might as well go for a lower-level hosting provider which will be much cheaper. The point of Cloud Services is to provide all these additional services. If you don't use tho

by LunaSea 4y ago
I believe that being cloud independent is a bit of a pipe dream for startups. Sure, Kubernetes gives you some independence but then you still depend on a lot of vendor specific services like S3, RDS, SES, SQS, etc.

by LunaSea 4y ago
That's why a lot of companies will have servers on oldschool hosting providers for large servers or high bandwidth usage. Cloud offerings are too expensive for that currently. Some specialised CDNs also offer low prices without commitm

The tooling ecosystem for databases is also terrible. Bad support for testing, for version controlled schemas, language types, etc. This is the reason for the spread of ORMs and similar abstractions to hide this lack of support.

I would not consider Next.js an alternative as it's missing a lot of the static website generation features. I don't think that it has server side GraphQL and Typescript support with data preloading from headless CMSs.
