Hey HN,<p>Just wanted to get some quick takes on anyone who has architected/deployed applications on AWS or really any public cloud in general that were for consumption BEHIND the great firewall.<p>A client of ours have a homegrown application that is used internally for which is now hosted in a datacenter stateside. It consists of a C#/.net application, js, some ancillary services and uses MS SQL for the backend. It has some solid engineering behind it and runs pretty quickly for users in US/EU (again all hosted out of a US datacenter) .<p>Over the last couple of years the company has been expanding with a couple of facilities in China but those users always have a miserable time with it, as well as any employees that travel there. Also the great firewall has blocked the IP 3 separate times in the last 2 years which required infrastructure changes on the datacenter end in order to change the IP address of web frontend.<p>The ongoing growth there along with the the engineering lead for that application letting them know last week that hes planning on leaving at the end of December has kind of kick started the conversation about maybe moving this thing into the cloud and trying to solve the China issue.<p>Has anyone ever built out anything that served users both outside of and inside of China and how did you handle the great firewall?
