perform emergency migration of 2x
#crisp rabbitmq servers running on DigitalOcean sluggish Intel Premium CPUs to AMD CPUs that are MUCH faster — cause we had a network partition of the Rabbit cluster this morning which is unrecoverable w/o manual intervention
🔨 busy, busy day but got Claude to fix three random server issues. One was in a new project and I mistaken user my old DO ip addresses instead of our new ones. The second, I left Cladue setup a new application in Coolify and it just worked.
#servers
create 2x new DigitalOcean servers to setup another kvrocks cluster to replace old legacy SSDB servers for
#crisp
finish last fixes on new
#crisp s3 storage backend to support hybrid between our old school Minio over LAN, and DigitalOcean Spaces S3 buckets, and any other S3 provider — used to route certain path prefixes to certain S3 providers for future cost optimization and to ease with the production migration
investigate if it's possible to migrate all
#crisp s3 objects from our current minio on network volume deployment, to digitalocean spaces because they have a limit of 100M objects and we may be well past that... lol - wrote a small C helper to count faster than Linux's ls command cause it's so slow when recursive on millions of files
🔥Cut $200 worth of Digital Ocean databases and services and fully on Hetzner for 1/4 the cost on better hardware

🚜🐘 Moved two dozen databases from DO to Hetzner with some downtime as things adjust/settle in
I lot of work on new Flutter
#giftit app. I also migrated
#kindlegratis backend to Hetzner and got 4x RAM for less money than Digital Ocean.
💸 Realized once I move my last two managed databases off of DO, my Hetzner bill will be 2/3 of what I was paying for those last two servers. My new stack is three servers at 1/5 the cost of my total DO bill was.
#servers
investigate github.com/inlets/inlets-oper… for future
#crisp core infrastructure migration to kubernetes (150+ DigitalOcean VMs)
🚀 Set up a new Hetzner server to swap out my last DO server. Their dedicated resources are faster than their virutal resources which makes no sense.
#servers
See WIP being super slow because Digital Ocean is doing maintenance for 3 hours (??)
#wip
File ticket with Digital Ocean because their connection pooling is broken, but of course it's not listed on their status page
#startupjobs
renew cloudflare enterprise this year for
#crisp, but tell them that we'll reduce reliance on them in the future cause they are constantly raising prices and now we pay 7k USD a month for a few add-ons, which more than we pay for all our server infrastructures at DigitalOcean, combined. CF is great but as soon as you go ENT it becomes an extractive business, akin to a drug dealer selling you addictive shit and then you're hooked and they can raise prices whenever they want and you still have to pay otherwise you're fucked
💸 Shaved $60 to $70 in hosting costs by dumping DO for Hetzner and moving everything but my managed database over.
