I'll believe it when I see it and it's an actual improvement. It's not like "cloud" is some sort of Platonic embodiment of goodness and anything that is "cloudier" than an alternative is automatically better. All the attempts to put code in "databases" I've ever seen make easy things sorta easy and make medium things way harder and you can just forget about hard things; if I can't do the equivalent of "perl -pi -e 's/OldVariable/NewVariable/g' then it just isn't going to displace a file system for me. Not because I need that exact commmand or perl, but for what it represents, the ability to just do things to my code as needed, without needing to wait for someone to implement an API or sluggishly do it over a network. Another example would be just throwing a code analysis tool at my code without needing some sort of permission from my "cloud code provider". File systems haven't been disappearing, they've just been getting hidden from users. I have seen exceedingly little evidence that anything beyond merely hiding them is actually happening in the industry. "Stick all the files in databases" seems to be seeing no penetration beyond music collections, which at this point, I think we can call a "mere use case" rather than the vanguard of a revolution, since it's a good 10-15 years old minimum.
