What would you use for load balancing, where would you put it and how would you run it (say, DNS wise)? It's been a few years since I looked at it, but I couldn't find a cheap, reliable way to load balance a web app between providers.

Tbf, AWS can't do that inter-region well either which is effectively what we are talking about. They rely on DNS-based solutions and so do many CDNs.

Everyone does DNS load balancing unless you're ready to do BGP and announce/withdraw your net blocks based on health.

Anycast is nice, but niche.
