>>507122359Everything these days is 'cloud orchestrated' and one site might not even be hosted at a single cloud provider any more. There are platforms for running your giant containerized serverless shitfuckfest of a site or service which allow you to host practically anywhere, some places charge more than others. Different Amazon zones, for instance, can have sometimes wildly different rates.
You get some Hindoo to set this shit up for you and then BAM any ONE of the cloud providers goes down? So does your site.
Self hosting is coming back though, these days you can get a Threadripper and a couple 100TB of disk cheap, and just run damn near anything on it directly on the metal. It winds up being like 50x more efficient than doing it in the cloud. Startups are doing that more and more now to avoid 'big bill shock' so the practice will continue as the newer generations of founders build out their infra. I think cloud has peaked personally.
