Interesting, thanks for sharing. My instinct would have been to rent a few dedicated boxes from a OVH for something like that. What made you decide to go with local boxes?

Personally, I find local dev much easier.

I had access to racks of hardware to do a lot of testing but they were in Colorado, while I am in EU which made latency a real problem.
