FWIW Render is moving most of their infrastructure from GCP to AWS https://twitter.com/anuraggoel/status/1670863526272077825

(Render CEO) We're going to be hybrid and multi-cloud for the foreseeable future. We're reducing our reliance on GCP for some things, but I don't expect us to ever be AWS-only.

Hey Anurag! Thanks for answering our questions here. Just curious, why do most of the new PaaSs (including Render apparently) go for GCP and AWS, instead of a cheaper option like Hetzner? It seems everyday I read another blog post of how switching away from the Big 3 Clouds (or DO) results in massive savings for some company.

Hard to blame them. Google shutting down Domains, instead of rolling it into Cloud Domains, seems like a harbinger of what they’re planning for Cloud. Why offload it when they have a natural product to put it under, unless they’re also planning to shut down that product?

We left AWS for a similar reason and more. The grass always looks greener on the other side, especially when you are mad.
