Can I just point out that either the vendor is small and therefor can’t actually offer the N+2 reliability you list as a weakness of self-hosting, or they are large enough for N+2 but then stop being small.
My tiny website doesn’t need a CDN and doesn’t need atomic updates.

I don't understand what you mean. surge.sh and statichost.eu are both small vendors that offer redundancy. Are you saying they're not really small or not really offering N+2 reliability?
- FabCH 11d agoFrom what they list on the website, they don’t offer N+2 reliability / they are not present in sufficient geos to actually act as a CDN.
- mtlynch 11d agoWhich vendor are you talking about? As I mentioned upthread, statichost.eu uses Bunny under the covers, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that Bunny isn't a CDN. surge.sh has servers in 10 regions.[0] It's not trivial to run a static host with redundancy in multiple regions, but it's also not so absurdly complex that only large vendors can achieve it.
