Wut?
I mean, otherwise yout point still stands, and I agree, but I think it's even stranger with "cloud" stuff, in that it's very much not cheap.
- franky47 8y agoIt depends on the point of view, for startups looking for a tech solution at a small scale to test their products, these solutions are usually much cheaper than doing everything by yourself. It's only when you start to scale that you realise the financial impact and the lock-in that the platform have upon you, and at this stage it's too late for the paradigm shift to operate.
