For a startup it makes perfect sense to avoid high CAPEX: it is not worth to invest into own infrastructure which will have positive ROI in 3 years, if you are not sure that you startup will still be alive in 3 years.
Why big established companies prefer high OPEX to lower CAPEX is less clear.
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoIndeed, I fully understand why a startup goes for the cloud: Either it scales fast enough that the dynamic scaling of cloud is key, or it fails and assets become pointless anyways. But even then, once a startup hits a certain level of stability, it makes sense to invest in your own infrastructure to minimize expense.
