Back in the ‘old days’ of the cloud you’d hear a lot of talk about “commodity computing”. Compute was fungible. No salespeople, no politics. It was a utopian environment for developers.
But in the decade and a half since, the landscape has changed. Now cloud is infested with salespeople, consultants, and worst of all, third-party solutions. It’s the same old hodgepodge of half-finished incompatible products tossed over the wall that on-prem used to be, only more expensive.
