But isn’t that antithetical to decentralization? Would you consider mastodon decentralized if you had to rely on AWS?

- yewenjie 4y agoI think having multiple deployment stack options will only help more adoption, and is a practical choice that will drive more decentralisation.
- paulgb 4y agoIf you had to use Amazon, sure. But the option would be nice. That said, I’ve tried supporting both DynamoDB and an RDBMS with the same software and it was a pain, and this was for something with a less complicated schema then Mastadon. I think what’s missing here is really a scale-to-zero, serverless RDBMS (maybe Supabase or Neon fit the bill?)
- scrollaway 4y agoDecentralisation isn’t about never running things on a centralised stack. It’s about not having to.
