[deployment] Select a CSP and prepare for production situations #106
Description
Activity
There is Outscale it's a French company (cloud computing + cloud service). However it was created by Dassault System to ensure french sovereignty.

Reacted by fe51 and JeanI had a look to outscale and it seams to be an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is it what we are looking for ?
https://www.redhat.com/fr/topics/cloud-computing/iaas-vs-paas-vs-saas
TLDR:- IaaS = we need to manage installation, deployment, etc. on a VM (eg AWS EC2, etc.)
- PaaS = deployment managed (eg Heroku)
I found a PaaS using Ouscale infrastructures named Scalingo having a good price/performance ratio based on this French PaaS benchmark - 0,01 € / hour for the smallest config and a free Postres plan, according to its pricing what do you think ?
Thanks for the investigation!
I would imagine that IaaS are thus cheaper to PaaS for comparable machines?
If so, considering our simple setup, it could be manageable. But so we have two aspects to compare: pricing/performance, and business model of the company (checking there is no misalignment with Pyronear values as much as possible). Any idea where those CSP stand regarding that last aspect?Quick note: The choice of CSP is quite impacting on other parts of our system (e.g pyro-riks would love a platform that enable jobs to be launched automatically or have a Reddis Cache). The CSP selection should be advertised and/or discussed with other teams.
As a side note, should there be a place to gather global architecture discussions? I have the feeling that we have general impacting talks scattered among the different repos.
Reacted by CamilleNot really on Github, so perhaps we should schedule a meeting for this very topic?
Would it be too complicated to manage VMs on our own ?
I've had a quick look at some PaaS:
- OVH (guess that it's well-known)
- Orange Business Services
- platform.sh
- gandi. They support some nice projects (here) such as WWF, fidh, etc. They also have a nice "index de l'égalité salariale Femmes-Hommes" of 87/100.
It did not benchmark yet the prices of all the solutions mentioned above, but so far
gandiseems to be the closest to Pyronear's values.My bad, I was supposed to take care of this over the weekend. I'll start the deployment on OVH to try to have something working for Wednesday!
Reacted by Chloé SekkatFYI: we're in the middle of deployment on an OVH sandbox 👌
Reacted by Julien JourdainI was about to close this issue because we now have a deployed instance on OVH, but I wanted first to suggest another option that is surprisingly free: Deta
It's suggested by FastAPI and seems quite modern : https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tr/deployment/deta/
Hi,
It seems like a good solution indeed that would have fit our usecase but why would we switch now that we have a solution on OVH?Hi,

Oh my bad I thought we were in a free tier plan on OVH.
I would agree to do the switch then :)Moving this to a question since it will remain an ongoing matter as new providers appear :)

Currently the app is hosted freely but with high constraints on up time, this needs to change when users require constant access. A few things need to be taken care of:
