Healthchecks.io Now Uses Self-Hosted Object Storage
Summary
Healthchecks.io migrated from a managed to a self-hosted object storage setup using Versity S3 Gateway, deploying on a Btrfs filesystem with RAID1 NVMe drives and WireGuard connectivity. The move aimed to improve latency and control costs after evaluating cloud options (AWS S3, OVHcloud, UpCloud). The post covers architecture, backups, and the trade-offs of single-system storage, concluding that performance gains justify the approach for now.
