Ask HN: How do you minimize dependence on US-based infrastructure?

3 pointsby __warlord__قبل 6 أشهر2 comments

With Donald current shenanigans and for companies operating in Europe and/or Latin America: are you doing anything to ensure your business can continue if major US infrastructure providers become inaccessible (for geopolitical, regulatory, or sanctions-related reasons)?

If yes, what stack choices and operational practices helped most (cloud, identity, observability, comms, CI/CD, payments, support tooling, backups)?

Eliminate Microsoft, Google and Apple as any critical point-of-failure. Prepare to operate with zero (or adversarial) aftermarket support.

If you want to be extremely resilient with your infrastructure, you should be multi-cloud anyway. So you can rely on US infra like AWS and also something like Hetzner. Then you're still good if the US stuff goes crazy.
