I guess my basic point is that people talk about the "cloud" like it is a magical entity that solves all our problems when it comes to server load, resources and data. The reality is, it's still hardware, it's still physical, and it is still a limited resource.
Not having to think about something doesn't change the nature of the thing you aren't thinking about. Clouds are still built from servers.
- jshen 17y agoIt does change the nature of the thing to the person using the cloud. I agree with your points about the silver bullet hype, but the cloud does give people a lot of advantages and a lot of cost savings under the right circumstances. Those circumstances happen to include a very large segment of web developers.
- TrevorJ 17y agoSure, I agree completely with your points there. I'm just pointing out that they are still servers, albeit distributed ones.
