This is the main reason I don't use it. I like having predictable monthly pricing that remains consistent.

Your list is missing quite a few major providers in the "low end" VPS space, such as BuyVM, Ramnode, Virmach, HostHatch, and probably others I'm forgetting.

I guess this isn't usable outside of AWS? It's unfortunate that it's tightly coupled to one particular provider.

Most communication is via Workplace (group posts and chat). Emails aren't very common any more - mainly for communication with external people and alerting.

FB uses Office365 for email. It was on-premise Exchange many many years ago, but moved "to the cloud" a while back.

Facebook caches URLs pretty aggressively (often you need to explicitly purge the cache to pick up updates) so I don't quite understand exactly what happened here. The article is very light on details. Do you have 7 million unique URLs

It's likely that apps that load the SDK are using other features of it, such as Facebook Analytics (which is similar to Google Analytics), not just login with Facebook.

Do you feel the same about Google Analytics? Its data collection is very similar.

The other thing that wasn't really covered is that contractors are getting paid even if they're unable to work (for example, people that work in security and culinary teams that aren't required because the offices are closed)

DNS challenges are great for internal services too, where you want server-to-server communication to be encrypted but the servers aren't accessible over the public internet.

In addition to this, one reason the JS tools of today are relatively slow is because they all need to parse the code. Babel parses it to compile it, then ESLint parses it again to lint it, then Webpack/Rollup/Parcel parses it agai

Some ccTLDs have good infra though. Many of the smaller ones (particularly ones ran by CoCCA, such as .cx) use Dyntld or Packet Clearing House which have pretty good servers and connectivity.

Discourse really isn't very good. If you want a more powerful forum system that doesn't need as much CPU power, get SMF or Xenforo or MyBB or something. If you want some new fancy thing, get NodeBB. Many of the sites that used to

This is what I see groups for. Chat for small groups, Facebook groups for larger groups and long-form posts that require more in-depth discussion. This is what we do internally at Facebook and it works pretty well.
