RIP Discord

Is it going to redirect to 8chat?

So hackerman is trying to influence the election already!

YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED, HACKERMAN. FREEDOM AND LOVE WILL WIN THE DAY.

HOSTED CLOUD IS GOOD

//watches google shit all over itself while Discord blames google

Fucking people. You need hybrid cloud... have you own shit as well.

It's coming back around to on-prem stuff being super key once you scale past a certain point. SREs absolutely hate it because it adds "complexity" but DCs with super redundant power and network ingress can do a lot to keep your service alive when the cloud has a burp. Just don't do what my company does and use physical node redundancy vs. vms/containers for redundancy. That shit means you are -always- in email chains with your vendors, constantly, and you quickly learn to hate all vendors.

This is the exact industry I work in so I am extra-bias

Fuck the cloud with the exception of hosting your public websites and some monitoring tools. Nothing beats a robust on prem network in a quality data center for performance and uptime.
I particularly love how they can have some performance degradation where your shit is so slow it’s unusable, but that isn’t considered “downtime” to them as they flaunt their 99.99% uptime statistic. Waiting 4 hours for some tech to do what you can do 5 minutes on prem while your shit is down or crawling is maddening.
