Gateway Optimal Orchestration and Deployment (GOOD)

[shane]

Hmmm… not sure how to reconciling the different perspectives here. This is what PNI is saying regarding reducing costs:

Optimizing Regional Support: What the Data Says, and the Plan Ahead

Pocket Network currently supports 20 regions around the world via two cloud providers, in the name of providing speedy, unstoppable RPC access. In conjunction with our community partner, POKTscan, and in relation to our recent announcement and efforts to reduce costs across the network, we are evaluating the viability, cost-efficiency, and performance impact of our regions across the network. Historically, our approach has been to add more Portals in more regions, in an effort to reduce latency…

I was always under the impression that gateways were lightweight, but PNI is saying otherwise.
