Ongoing Incident in Google Cloud
As has happened many times throughout history (back to mainframes and thin clients of the 90s) there are swings&#x2F;trends in how infrastructure is hosted.<p>Listening to the “All In Podcast” yesterday even those guys were talking about revenue drops in the big cloud services and noting we’re currently in the midst of a swing back to self-hosting&#x2F;co-location&#x2F;whatever thinking and migrations out.<p>IMHO those building greenfield solution today should take a hard look at whether the default approach from the last ~10 years “of course you build in $BIGCLOUD” makes sense for the application - in many cases it does not.<p>It also has the added benefit of de-centralizing the internet a bit (even if only a little).
