Except I have to have those servers to run it on. It's the basic premise of why cloud vs onPrem. I didn't think that really needed to be stipulated at this level on this particular forum.

You can make some software which supports local processing and cloud processing.

That software then does not require servers to run on, since it supports local processing.

In this way it remains accessible in the future and scalable right now. (Assuming local processing would be slow enough to hurt the experience)

Honestly, I didn’t think this concept needed to be explained at this level either.
