    After almost 10 years at Digital Ocean, we’ve moved our entire infrastructure to Hetzner’s US-based data center in Virginia. This is a big change. We have over 20 different web apps, APIs, background daemons, and databases all working loosely together. Plus I have 10 years of experience running infrastructure in Digital Ocean’s cloud.

It's a cool idea. Let's talk to Elvis Kahoro and Nikhil Rao from Reflex.dev.
