2·3 months agoI moved to DigitalOcean for now, I thought about selfhosting but I’m not in a great situation for that. They are cheaper, easier, and I’ve been mooching off of their tutorials for a decade. I had to dump a 27GB site that I haven’t touched in at least 10 years and am undecided between a phone notification app or SMS to replace SNS. DO has S3 storage and a CDN. The last bit is just one site that needs some email forwarding but it’s very low priority. $7 droplet and $5 S3 and no one looks at these sites but me so the bandwidth won’t cost me anything most of the time
I moved from AWS to DO. Definitely cheaper, easier for my setup. Monthly fees less and no reserved instance BS
How do I leave AWS?
I use S3, EC2, SNS (or whatever they call it now), email, cloudfront
I want the same fast servers and CDN. I can probably pay someone else for email and sms services
These are all cute, but when you start to lose your balance just turning your head or with basic movements, you really start to feel old.
It’s only a matter of time before you start falling.
Once you start falling, you start dying slowly
