Could be very interesting when we have another economic downturn to see if attitudes on this change. It certainly seems more cost-effective to run ones own technical operations rather than offloading onto AWS / Google / Microsoft.
- mmt 8y agoIt will only matter if the infrastructure is a large part of their cost of technical operations (as opposed to labor) or, more importantly, overall cost of operations. In another thread on here (unfortunately I can't recall which), an executive shared a sentiment along the lines of "I don't care if it's 1% or 0.1% of my overall budget". Perhaps 0.9% would become more significant during a downturn, especially for startups if VC money dries up.
