We migrated to a new storage provider last night with minimal downtime (apart from live updated toots had broken images for a bit).

Here's how we did it:

* set up nginx proxy that tries new service, then old service if 404
* pointed CDN at proxy
* point uploads at new service
* copy ~50GB of media to new service
* ensure old service wasn't being hit anymore
* stop falling back on old service
* monitor
* point CDN to new service
* done!

I wanna see a Star Trek episode where they can't scan whereabouts of an away team because of strict local regulations of emissions on frequency bands. "Captain, we'll have to aqcuire an expensive license to broadcast on this frequency" 🖖 ✨
