Are you accepting payments as a Japanese entity or Canadian? You don't have a "特定商取引法に基づく表示" page, do you?

I used to sleep with noise cancelling headphones on when I lived in a loud house

If you scale out instead of up first, you can still use those smaller servers as part of your fleet.

Ah. Yeah. If you're using the t2 tier instances, they don't update them much, you probably could get away with the 3 year if you're using a small or medium instance. Micro instances are not so great for servers, but they're really handy for housekeeping tasks so it's handy to have one laying around if you can spare it. That said, 3 years is a really long time. Hah.

did you go for the 3-year reserved instance thing?

how'd the migration to AWS go?

the mentions tab is a bit faster, yeah

The biggest point of PrivateLog is that it's private. :)

I've decided to switch CDN to CloudFront from CloudFlare.

CloudFlare is free, so that's nice, but the major drawback that switching to CloudFront solves is: no expiring URLs. PrivateLog uses "private" urls to its images, but now that I've switched to CloudFront, the URL that the image tags refer to expire in about an hour. Maybe I'm just being overly paranoid, but it means that any URL that's been leaked for some reason or another won't be valid for long.

that's why it needs to be automated. just do it on a cron script
