AWS went down. And suddenly everyone became a cloud architect.
“Why wasn’t your app deployed across multiple regions!?” Because, Karen, that would triple your cost. 😅
Let’s be real: - Most SaaS apps run in one region. - Multi-region setups are insanely expensive. - And AWS outages this bad happen maybe once every few years.
If your €9.99/month subscription doesn’t include “global disaster resilience,” that’s... kinda fair.
You’re paying for “high availability,” not “nuclear-proof redundancy.”
Honestly, I’ll take a few hours of downtime over paying 3x for uptime no one will even notice 99.999% of the time.
Would you pay extra for multi-region peace of mind? Or accept the occasional chaos as the cost of doing business?
