Deep dives

The Limitations of Public Clouds

Public clouds often fail to provide a developer-friendly experience, making deployment and management cumbersome. For example, deploying a simple app, like one for generating sandwich recipes, can be more challenging on platforms like AWS than securing a dedicated server. This complexity arises because public clouds are typically designed for platform teams rather than individual developers, resulting in a frustrating user experience. The need for a public cloud tailored to help developers focus on building applications without excessive infrastructure hurdles is emphasized.
