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.

AWS: you will pay. also, shit works. also, you get customer service.
Azure: you're running Windows, you hate yourself, probably both
Google: you have transcended beyond such earthly requirements as "customer service" or "functions that don't get deprecated in three years"
Hetzner: you run a herd of carefully groomed pets and not cattle
OVH: wot is dis "uptime" ov which u speek
Oracle: lol
Some Guy LLC: I would rather sign up with Oracle
OVH is Some Guy LLC At Scale
and Google Cloud is Some Guy LLC At Scale At Scale
I guess there's still DigitalOcean and Linode, the Azure and AWS of Some Guy LLC, respectively.
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
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
Azure is great and doesn't require you to use Windows. I will not stand for such slander.
Also I love how literally no one can remember that IBM also has a cloud.
what kind of enterprise hell is your daily life, for you to enjoy such curses as azure? :D
I hosted a single Linux VM on the free student's subscription and didn't hate it.
AWS was a nightmare on the other hand. At least a VM on Azure is called an Azure VM and not Elastic Rubber Evolution 2: Blue Artemis Service.
