Re:Ask HN: Is your company sticking to on-premise servers? Why? by kelnos on Wednesday May 06, 2020 @11:06PM (#23099261)
That's an incredibly naive assessment and is absolutely not true in practice, except for perhaps for some orgs where the stars just happen to align to make that a reality. Most places heavily build "cloud" into their frameworks, tooling, hiring, and, well, everything. Even just swapping out a single hosted/managed component (as my company did a few years ago, replacing Kinesis with Kafka) can require a lot of up-front work[0] and on-going maintenance.

[0] Especially if you're already in production with the thing you want to replace, and want to transition without downtime for your customers.
