Well, it's been a long and protracted death, but it doesn't look like we're going to be able to resuscitate the patient, and before we can lay the corpse of DroneLab into the grave, it still seems like you end up paying Amazon for all manner of storage costs and service costs for obscure little bits of architecture that have been running in the background all this time.
I'm also having to pay for glacial storage, as I can't bring myself to delete the 5TB of data that we've amassed over the years.
Apparently, we might be able to bring back static maps, which would be nice, as this would mean we could keep those deep links that are out there and potentially bring the website back. I think this might be a good idea. I'm reluctant to throw away the past ten years of my life without keeping some sort of record online that proves that we actually used to exist.
I suppose you could always visit the Wayback machine, but that's not really the same.
Wow. If you ever wanted an example of how quickly you can slip from the number one spot on Google, just try searching for 'DroneLab'. We were number one for years, and now we're languishing down in seventh place.
