CLOUD
big cloud providers see a cannabis business and their lawyers start sweating. so they just drop you. sometimes with a warning, sometimes not. your site goes down, your data is frozen, good luck.
i spent years working in cannabis before any of this. i know how chaotic it gets in a store. i know what happens when tech fails on a busy friday. i know the industry from the inside, not from reading about it.
that's not something you can just put on a website. i've actually been there.
hey i'm Rodney. it's just me. no team, no helpdesk, no ticket system. you got a problem you're texting me directly and i'm probably already looking at it.
i came up in cannabis before i got into any of this. so when a brand rep walks in and their POS is down and the wifi is garbage and everything is on fire, i know what that feels like. i've been that guy on the floor. that matters more than any cert i could show you.
the server is a Dell R730xd and it's in my house in Hinton. yeah. i'm not gonna dress that up and call it a datacenter. it's real hardware on a real business line and it's not going anywhere. half the VPS guys you've used were running on AWS anyway and just not telling you.
