Basecamp have closed their AWS account

I swear we didn't plan this, but just today, we finally NUKED our entire AWS account at the 37signals company meetup! This followed moving out compute+dbs in 2023, then S3 this summer, and now finally the entire account is GONE 🎉

We're saving well over two million dollars per year on this cloud exit. We got much faster gear (local nvme storage vs network mounts is a game changer!). We own all our hardware. And when things go down, we can actually do something about it ourselves. basecamp.com/cloud-exit
