Since the devine chats, I've been thinking about this.
I'm thinking media hosting an relays as a service should be compelling to larger nostr applications. Since nostr brings security, redundancy, and load balancing to the client, you could purchase relay services from many providers on around the world with varying levels of availability, decentralization, and performance. Ideally if provider 1 goes down, provider 2 is still up, 3 and so on. These are active-active providers ideally so you're hardly over provisioning ideally. I know the hosting costs are fixed, so the only added cost would be over-provisioning, but they would get weighed in with the "as a service" cost analysis.
I'm sure if asked, many providers would be willing to handle contractual obligations such as guarantees, ownership and so on.

Never let a crisis of centralized internet outages go to waste. Let me tell you about this thing called self hosting :)

58k gang? I'm excited.
Giving AlmaLinux server a try. There's still something about Fedora that's just got me hooked though. Well see what happens I guess.
Cloud storage is cheap... Until you go to use it.
Nostr: where devs get to tell everyone how they reinvented the wheel completely unchallenged.
