Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I guess there's still DigitalOcean and Linode, the Azure and AWS of Some Guy LLC, respectively.
Linode now brought to you by Akamai, the CDN that also exists, you know (it's not just CloudFlareont!)
Off the cuff I think (and would have to doublecheck) Akamai is probably bigger by a fair deal, they’re just not nearly as loud
I've been using DigitalOcean for years as a personal VPS box, and I've had no complaints. Not sure how well they'd scale (in terms of cost) for a site like this.
this is one part of the problem, yeah - pretty much all the VPS offerings are extremely painful cost-wise if you need chonky hosts
rootservers (or things off the serverbidding market) are way better bang for buck (i.e. my all-the-things gremlin box is dual-4TB 64GB i7-something, at ~38eur/mo)
I really, really hope they sort this shit out
