Many startups and companies couldn't exist if there was only AWS (or GCP / Azure) due to how much they overcharge.

For example, we couldn't offer free GeoIP downloads[0] if we were charged the outrageous $0.09 / GB, and the same is true for companies serving AI models or game assets.

But what makes me almost sick is how slow is the cloud. From network-attached disks to overcrowded CPUs, everything is so slooooow.

My experience is that the cloud is a good thing between 0-10,000 $ / month. But you should seriously consider renting bare-metal servers or owning your own after that. You can "over-provision" as much as you want when you get 10-20x (real numbers) the performance for 25% of the price.

You may want to take a look at Pingoo (https://github.com/pingooio/pingoo), a reverse proxy with automatic TLS that can also block bots with advanced rules that go beyond simple IP blocking.

Preact signals are far superior to other state management patterns for react, but don't use a ContextProvider as shown is this article, pass the signals as props instead.

e.g:

  function MyComponent({ disabled }: { disabled: Signal<boolean> }) {
    // ...
  }

Take a look at https://github.com/pingooio/pingoo

It's a reverse-proxy / load balancer with built-in firewall and automatic HTTPS. You will be able to easily block the annoying bots with rules (https://pingoo.io/docs/rules)
