They've been using a CF stack that is fundamentally broken from the foundation up for years and was aware of it. Its part of why they hired someone in July to rebuild it in python.

You signed an NDA and have done a full analysis of their code? Cool.

You don't really need to sign NDAs to read through java classes.

Strange how this works. I moved everything to cloud providers because of availability issues. Now a few years later, I'm moving everything back to dedicated hardware in several different datacenters because of availability issues . Thanks, Docker!! <3

Are you buying your own hardware and colocating, or leasing hardware? If the latter, which provider(s) are you using?

We are leasing hardware, and we are leasing a lot of OVH (in addition to a number of smaller providers). OVH does a good job, and if you build your infrastructure to load-balance around failure (which does not happen often), you'll hardly notice it. Often we get an email from OVH telling us that support techs have been automatically dispatched to a node which we hadn't even alerted about yet. Docker is basically a miracle drug for this kind of thing. Our hardware costs are less than half of what they were with EC2. Huge savings.

Heh, and here "often" means "often during failures". ;)
