On-Prem or the Cloud?
Recently there s been a ton of discussion after Basecamp announced that they re moving off of AWS in favor of on-prem. Yesterday, DHH followed up with a blog post on the process (https://world.hey.com/dhh/cloud-...). What do you think, and what do you prefer?
Microservices vs. Monolith
Recently, Amazon Prime Video made a significant decision to switch from a microservices to monolith architecture for video monitoring and claimed to have reduced costs by 90% (https://www.primevideotech.com/v...). This event has sparked renewed discussion on the longstanding debate over microservices vs monolith. What are your thoughts on Amazon s switch? And for the techies out there, how do you decide whether your application is best suited for a microservice or monolith architecture? If any of you have made a similar architecture switch, would love to hear about it! Excited to hear your insights and stories!
What’s the most important factor to consider when choosing a cloud provider?
While AWS is often the de facto cloud provider due to their mature ecosystems and available credits, many businesses are now moving to other providers such as GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean. I m curious to hear from you, PH community, what factors you prioritize when selecting a cloud service provider. Excited to hear your thoughts and experiences on what has influenced your decision, and how you assess the various providers available.
