i still don't know what aws is other than a place where the computer fairies files go to
@squirrel "the cloud", it is a spoopy place
if you want i can go over it with you a little bit!
@vahnj i think it would only make me more frustrated with no end result since i'm not a programmer who could make use of it sorry
@squirrel nbd. really you can just think of it as "a bunch of servers that amazon controls that provide lots of different program-y services"
@vahnj all i know is bea used to talk about it a lot
i think she runs glitch.social on it or something? i thought it was just storage but ok
@squirrel yea!
so S3 is the file storage service. it's basically like a remote file system. that's prolly where your servers' images are.
bea uses all of AWS - that means she uses the service that manages the actual computer server that she hosts the software on, as well as uses their DNS tools so that the glitch.social domain redirects properly to her website!
i don't think there's other stuff there she's using but that's probably the basic gist of it
@squirrel web hosting is a dark secret, i don't even fully understand every piece of it. my knowledge is "jury rigged" level of competence
