The 3-2-1 backup rule is pretty outdated in the world of cloud. You could have 3 complete copies of your data in different S3 buckets, but if they're all under the same account you've lost your blast radius protection
If only there were a quick and easy way to replicate s3 buckets to an independent provider… … on the Unix command line … … to a cloud older than AWS… … if only …

#174It has been 0 days since GCP has taken down a startup (again). You see this at least once a year. Never heard of this from AWS or Azure. In all seriousness, this is why we don't use them. They have the most ergonomic cloud of the big three, then absolutely murder it by having this kind of reputation.
On the other hand i can’t remember when there was a serious outage on GCP, unlike AWS/Azure who seem to go down catastrophically a couple of times per year.

#176I respect what railway is doing but also would never run my business on such a platform.
That kind of sounds like you don’t respect what they are doing.

#178As someone who runs some public APIs, the amount of spam from Railway IPs is insane. They have horrible abuse prevention. Hopefully this encourages them to improve their operations.
Implement anti-abuse measures and you will hit some loud false positives (this may be the case with GCP here).
I don't envy anybody running a hosting co - the internet is a really ugly place under the surface.
edit: to add - AWS are really good here. Must be the ~30 years of retail fraud and abuse experience.

> Never heard of this from AWS or Azure. AWS does it more efficiently; it takes down many startups at a time when us-east-1 goes down.
