Hi Nina, thank you for reviewing and improving on the Pol service code.

Indeed Vedrin has pointed earlier to issue 3), which I should have
already fixed.

We can probably best discuss in the meeting, where and when to set up
the new service.
I am not a fanatic about cloud vs standard deployments, but would
generally prefer a cloud-based solution, mainly for reasons of easier
manageability.

Let me just point at an advertised difference between Jiffybox and most
cloud services, which is the dedicated resources (in German:
https://www.jiffybox.de/faq_index.html). I have experienced very good
performance with JB so far.

Best regards
