The HEY Platform (email) has moved from the cloud to traditional servers

In the blog post, David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) shares his thoughts on his company's, Basecamp, decision to move away from cloud services. He argues that while cloud computing is widely utilized, it leads to dependency on providers and a lack of control over data. DHH recalls personal experiences with the difficulties of data migration and resource management, which ultimately had a negative impact on the company’s self-sufficiency. He suggests that traditional approaches involving servers and local resources can still offer significant benefits for some companies, providing greater control and cost predictability. In conclusion, he emphasizes that technology choices should align closely with a company's values, instilling responsibility and transparency in operations.
