Deep dives
Public Clouds and Developer Frustration
Public clouds often complicate the app deployment process for developers, leading to frustration. For instance, Kurt Mackey, co-founder of Fly.io, shared an example of wanting to deploy a simple app for creating sandwich recipes, which is surprisingly cumbersome on traditional platforms like AWS. This complexity stems from public clouds being primarily designed for platform teams rather than for individual developers, forcing developers to navigate through unnecessary hurdles. Mackey emphasizes that a cloud built with developers in mind simplifies the process, allowing them to focus on creativity rather than infrastructure challenges.
