In the "cloud" space I think the difference was being able to sell it as a commodity and in as large or small chunks as the client wanted, not the concept itself. Not sure what the equivalent in no/low-code would be.

In my mind, "the cloud" came into existence when it became practical to rent servers (virtual or physical) by the hour, rather than by the month. It's one of those things where a difference in degree in implementation terms (leasing in smaller time increments) allowed a difference in kind in usage terms (on-demand server allocation over advance provisioning).

  Isn't that what I wrote? Or do you disagree with something I wrote?

    I think you are both right but it’s funny because most customers have this stuff up and running 365 days a year anyway
