  Yes, for now. The trend is (and has been) towards more and more elasticity. And since there are economic incentives on both platform provider and buyer side, I believe this will continue. It is somewhat predicated on tooling and programming models continuing to improve alongside. Because for many smaller projects/businesses, compute costs are dwarfed by engineering costs.
