The wet dream for big tech has been to get people to pay subscription fees for compute, just like businesses do for cloud hosting.

Thankfully there's a growing number of businesses that have been burned by this, and it seems like companies are starting to try bringing their critical systems back in-house again

    There is this tipping point where it becomes more cost effective to bring it inhouse, even with the staffing requirements. For small to medium sized buinesses though cloud all the way.

    Reliability and risk are also factors. What do you do when a vendor tries to lock you into a walled garden before cranking up prices? What about storage of sensitive information? Sometimes the additional cost of doing it in-house pays off in ways that are difficult to track
