Isn't the same true for popular cloud services? One security flaw and thousands are affected. Maybe back to on prem would be better.

- dartos 2y agoIt depends. You can consume a cloud service from your backend, thus insulating it from your user’s browser. Sometimes the cost of a 3rd party service is much much cheaper vs on prem (the cost of hardware, yearly maintenance, etc) On prem isn’t strictly better security wise either. On prem software can have vulnerabilities baked in to the product which could be exploited much more quietly, since the blast radius is a single customer
- HackerThemAll 2y ago> Maybe back to on prem would be better. You don't have any clue about the sizes of the cloud customers' architectures. Like a Kubernetes Cluster of size far, far beyond its advertised 5000 nodes limit. Maybe if you have a Wordpress site or a tiny internal-only corp React website then it might be feasible to go back on-prem. But the world is already run by a few cloud providers, whether you like it or not.
- croes 2y agoI doubt that most cloud customers have such big architectures.
- HackerThemAll 2y agoMaybe not "most", but those big brands you rely on in your everyday life, they do.
