## high CDN cost = Content Delivery
|
|
|
|
- CDN's cost between 20 and 60 on major CDN's from Amazon, Google, ..., after negotiation and willingness to park lots of money and commit per month it mught be certain discount.
|
|
- Other specialized CDN's can be around 10 per TB if services from e.g. Europe or US, smaller CDN's are much more expensive.
|
|
- Managing these CDN's is expensive and not easy job.
|
|
|
|
>> this means to service 10m people it would cost about 1 to 2m USD per month just for CDN alone.
|
|
|
|
## High cost of operations
|
|
|
|
- cloud servers
|
|
- managing those servers, what if mistakes are made
|
|
|
|
## Ability to be shut down on the public cloud
|
|
|
|
- its highly probable that within months there would be attempts to shut down the CDN's or often it happens more softly (give bad service and make your product look bad).
|
|
|
|
## apps typically not ready to scale
|
|
|
|
- ...
|
|
- there are optimizations which can be done e.g. better indexing, better queries, more optimization strategies e.g. using redis
|
|
- more knowledge is required to optimize the app
|
|
|
|
## Ability to shutdown the mobile apps
|
|
|
|
- google/apple might chose to shutdown apps
|
|
- not easy to know how fast this will go, it might just be overnight
|
|
|
|
## GDPR
|
|
|
|
- are very annoying constraints in e.g. Europe, need to be careful to comply
|
|
|
|
## Legal potential trouble
|
|
|
|
- its important to have good terms & conditions and think which legal entity will be the counterpart of the T&C
|
|
- there will be legal requirements like how to shutdown / recognize bad content
|
|
|
|
## Redundancy / Uptime
|
|
|
|
- is the site redundant, can data be lost?
|
|
- what happens if a datacenter goes down?
|
|
- or what happens if a DB server crashes?
|
|
- what happens if e.g. DB gets corrupted?
|
|
- how to make sure people always deserve the service they need
|
|
- if it kind of works now, will it work if 10x more people?
|
|
- is everything monitored?
|
|
- if an issue is detected are there people available 24h/day 7/7 to fix
|
|
- do the people who will fix have the right knowledge, where is that knowledge stored
|
|
- is the monitoring system itself monitored, very often monitoring by itself will stop working
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
- how to see performance is not good enough for customers
|
|
- how to make sure we can easily fix it, can be region specific
|
|
- how to relocate services?
|
|
|
|
## protect against human error
|
|
|
|
- mistakes are and will be made this might have huge impact on uptime and if not careful loose data
|
|
- truck factor: what happens if someone goes away? can org easily take over and continue
|
|
- level of automation & documentation?
|
|
- how is version control done
|
