🥲 And here come the Friday deployments 🥲
It's like this, to remind you that no matter how smart things I write in my soul, I'm an old good dev-guy-badcoder

Forgot to mention!
The sponsor of Friday deployments is Yandex.Cloud
"Yandex.Cloud – our virtual disks are spinning on your grandma's coffin"
This will actually be a separate post about how Yandex.Cloud screwed us over and why we are abruptly moving to Selectel.
Spoiler: PostgresSQL on 4 mCPU / 8 Gb RAM in Hetzner handles load 10x better than 8 mCPU / 32 Gb RAM on Yandex.Cloud. Why? That's coming soon.

I was with Selectel for many years and got fed up with their crap. The last straw was when 2 hard drives in RAID 1 failed, and I first had to go through hell with tech support three times to prove that the problem was with the hardware and that there was no way I could have killed 2 drives myself. Then I had to wait several days for recovery.
Fortunately, they died one after another, not at the same time. They compensated me for the downtime with server payment days and said "sorry" :)

Are there any alternatives, but specifically with data centers in Russia?
Europe and America are all on GC and Hetzner for us, and everything is very good there.
The only other thing I've tried in Russia is Mail.Cloud, and 3 years ago it was ahead of YC, but after YC, the situation is somewhat concerning...

I just want everyone to know that Selectel has a lot of decommissioned hardware from VK and MailRu Group in general. The data centers started being built for VK first, and then they made them shared with racks that had already served their purpose. People from Selectel have talked about this repeatedly on Habr.

We're generally used to bare metal and know how to set up databases ourselves, so a non-managed solution is fine (because eventually, managed solutions randomly degrade in performance due to network or disk issues).

@ Ivan ITK 🚫 · # 1088
Yes, I'm talking purely about hardware, virtualization there is very expensive)

@ Ivan ITK 🚫 · # 1089
I don't know, I left Russia completely after Selectel.

There's a St. Petersburg data center, I forgot the name, they were Selectel's competitors back in the day for floral [services/products].

Ah, listen, I'm lying, I have good experience with Kurchatov DC, I had my own units there.

These seem pretty good, I've heard about them often.

I installed units there for FSB certification, one of the few places where the data center is truly fully equipped.

It's not an option for us: we have many devices in Russia and Belarus, and we need a minimal network round trip.
We tried hosting outside of Russia, and the lag is wild now (shoutout to Rostelecom).
It's even cooler when some devices stopped communicating with us because of, for example, a Tele2 SIM card.

@ Ivan ITK 🚫 · # 1098
Well, yes, considering the constant development of blocking and traffic filtering systems as well.

I think I figured out who's painted over :) Good way to celebrate the end of the week
