On: Saving cloud costs by writing our own database

Oh thanks! Always thought it was what EFS was for. They are still limited to the same AZ, so no multi AZ redundancy.

yea, multi AZ failover would be an issue but I assume they don’t care that much.

you could spinup new EBS from the backup when the first region fails or keep a warm copy there, but seems like a lot of extra engi work.
