It all started with a recommendation of a friend, that was to never read The Elements of Typographic Style shortly before you have to finish something.

So I took this opportunity to shut down my main server entirely and move to some proper cloud services. This posts illustrates the choices and the pros and cons compared to my old, self-hosted solution.
