Show HN: Interesting companies that are running on-prem

Each company have different motivations. For e.g. Basecamp moved to save cost.<p>Working in Enterprise, I can share hybrid model works best for multinational. If they are going into new geography, where local laws restrict data transfer across national boundaries, having a cloud provider with local data centers is the easiest and quickest way to launch.

I opened a PR adding Automattic to the list. They run WordPress.com and Tumblr and all their infrastructure is in 30 private datacenters across 6 continents.

I feel like including Digital Ocean is not quite in the spirit of the list lol. AWS is &quot;on-prem&quot; also, then.

Mentioning Digital Ocean and Cloudflare as on-prem companies makes as much sense as listing AWS and Google. Digital Ocean is one of the world&#x27;s top ten largest cloud providers and Cloudflare is one of the world&#x27;s largest CDNs.

Depends on what you find interesting, but almost all banks and insurance companies run their own data center. Often multiple, for redundancy reasons

Doesn&#x27;t twitter have its own datacenters too? But they also use GCP, not sure how they split the load

Does Wikimedia count? They&#x27;re a non-profit but on-prem
