Challenges of Public Clouds
Public cloud services often present significant challenges for developers, leading some to feel that these solutions are overly complicated and not user-friendly. The difficulty in deploying simple applications, like a sandwich recipe generator, exemplifies this frustration; developers may find it easier to manage a dedicated server than navigate the intricacies of services like AWS. These platforms are designed more for large platform teams rather than individual developers, causing unnecessary setbacks in productivity. This disconnect highlights a need for cloud services that prioritize the developer experience, offering simpler solutions for app deployment.
