In October 2022, 37signals announced they would transition off cloud services in a post titled “Why We’re Leaving the Cloud.”| 37signals.com
I've been talking about our departure from renting computers via AWS to owning them in a colocated datacenter as our "cloud exit". But I recognize this terminology can rub some people the wrong way. There's an entire generation of technologists who see themselves as "cloud native", and alienating them just because we want to own our ha...| world.hey.com

Since declaring our intention to leave the cloud in October, we've been busy at work making it so. After a brief detour down a blind alley with an enterprise Kubernetes provider, we found our stride building our own tools, and successfully moved the first small application out of the cloud a few weeks ago. Now our sights are set on a t...| world.hey.com
I haven't felt any urge to tinker with my Linux setup in months. This after spending much of the spring and into summer furiously and obsessively trying every PC out there to find the perfect replacement for the Mac, diving deep with Ubuntu, and codifying my findings in the Omakub project. But now it's done, and I'm left enjoying the A...| world.hey.com
We finished pulling seven cloud apps, including HEY, out of AWS and onto our own hardware last summer. But it took until the end of that year for all the long-term contract commitments to end, so 2024 has been the first clean year of savings, and we've been pleasantly surprised that they've been even better than originally estimated.

Just over a year ago, we announced our intention to leave the cloud. We then shared our complete $3.2 million cloud budget for 2022, and the fact that we were going to build our own tooling rather than pay for overpriced enterprise service contracts. The mission was set! A month later, we placed an order for $600,000 worth of Dell serv...| world.hey.com
这两天技术圈里热议的一件事就是Amazon的流媒体平台Prime Video在2023年3月22日发布了一篇技术博客《规模化Prime Video的音视频监控服务，成本降低90%》，副标题：“从分布式微服务架构到单体应用程序的转变有助于实现更高的规模、弹性和降低成本”，有人把这篇文章在五一期间转到了reddit 和 hacker news 上，在Reddit上热议。这种话题与业内推崇的微服务架构形成了鲜明的对比。...| 酷 壳 - CoolShell

Learn how Voxloud's early infrastructure was built on old servers, defying standard practices, and the crucial lesson it offers on making decisions that align with your goals and resources.| Gabriele Proni
Since it took us years to get into the cloud in the first place, I originally imagined it would take us years to get out as well. But all that work to containerize our applications and prepare them for the cloud actually turned out to make it relatively easy to exit. And now, after six months of effort, it's done. We're out. The last a...| world.hey.com
