Cloud Computing

Connects software providers to customers providing computing power has needed. Azure is growing fastest, AWS has the largest share. Market share analysis

Before choosing a provider, understand the economics: Infrastructure Cost Economics — what to run where at each stage of revenue.

Providers​

  • Vercel — Frontend deployment, preview per PR
  • Fly.io — Edge compute, global distribution
  • Hetzner — VPS, self-hosted runners, bare metal
  • AWS / Azure / GCP — Enterprise cloud (self-managed)
Mantra

Leverage platforms to ship faster.

Questions​

Which cloud orchestration decision — managed Kubernetes versus serverless, multi-cloud versus single provider, or infrastructure-as-code tooling — has the most downstream impact on operational complexity?

  • At what service count does container orchestration become essential versus serverless functions being sufficient?
  • How does the DePIN architecture change cloud orchestration requirements for applications that need to process data from geographically distributed sensors?
  • Which cloud cost optimization approach — right-sizing instances, spot instances, or architectural changes — produces the most savings per engineering hour invested?
