We stayed away from Roubaix given the experimental design. Not sure why anyone would put production stuff there. I can’t speak to Strasbourg that sounds horrendous. But Gravelines has been rock solid and 4ms latency to London.

But at the end of the day outages happen everywhere, including AWS. We also have some kit at Hetzner and I think that a redundant setup across OVH and Hetzner will be a fraction of a cost of single AZ setup in AWS and yield far greater uptime.

We’ve commoditized the servers and services (cattle vs pets)...why would we treat the providers any differently? Use cheap components and lots of redundancy.
