Rent servers from a local provider. It's cheaper, you get more control over the hardware, but most of all, it avoids correlated failures.


On the flipside, then you have to maintain instances of everything.

For most of what I run these days, I'd rather just have someone else run and administer my database. Same with my load balancers. And my Kubernetes cluster. I don't really care if there is an outage every 2 years.


That only helps if their uptime is better than AWS.
