> This is the Trillion Dollar Paradox described by Martin Casado. You’re crazy if you don’t start your business in the cloud, you’re crazy if you stay there. That's not a paradox. You're not crazy in either case. Starting in the cloud reduces costs for some strategies by removing necessary engineering. Starting in the cloud increases costs for other strategies by charging too much for commodity offerings. It's relatively straightforward to make the choice as soon as you put a specific business in the crosshairs. Edit: why is this downvoted?
