Cloud is not right for every workload or company. There is a lot that should be on-prem or coho in a datacenter. You are not always saving money on cloud and this is good proof of that.

From the post:

>We finished pulling seven cloud apps, including HEY, out of AWS and onto our own hardware last summer. But it took until the end of that year for all the long-term contract commitments to end, so 2024 has been the first clean year of savings, and we've been pleasantly surprised that they've been even better than originally estimated. For 2024, we've brought the cloud bill down from the original $3.2 million/year run rate to $1.3 million. That's a saving of almost two million dollars per year for our setup! The reason it's more than our original estimate of $7 million over five years is that we got away with putting all the new hardware into our existing data center racks and power limits.

Have you considered trying out NGINX or HAProxy as an alt to apache? They may not have the issue you are running into with apache and are both just as easy to maintain.

Yea, I considered NGINX. But Apache is simple enough to use and I understand it. But maybe I'll setup one SBC on NGINX, why not?

Thanks!

Good Luck. I like nginx for a lot of things and there are tools to make it stupid easy to use as a reverse proxy so if it fixes the issue you are running into maybe it is worth it. Otherwise, why fix what is not broken.
