Why we built in Columbus

Cheap power, a fiber crossroads and a lot of people who know how to run buildings. Our first region was not an accident.

This is sample article text for the template. Replace it with your own post in the CMS: every paragraph, heading and list here is a normal rich text field.

What we measured

We pulled a year of invoices, split every line into compute, storage and traffic, and compared each account against its first full month on Aldridge.

• Compute cost fell by a median of 22%

• Storage cost was roughly flat

• Traffic cost went to zero because egress is included

What we would do again

Keep the old stack running for a week, move one service at a time, and switch DNS last. Most of the risk in a migration is in doing everything at once.
