    There are at least two aspects of cloud:

    1. The developer experience. This is crucial, developers want programmable things, everywhere. You can reap the benefits of automation.

    2. Vendor lock in and platform power. There are three large players today and they add bit and pieces all the time; leading to vendor lock in. The cloud is even for mid-size projects much more expensive than raw hosting or owning the hardware.

    Today, I would treat cloud as an expensive, but useful starter - to get you going, to try things out quickly. I would not bet my business on it, especially not, if I were a large company.

    Ergo: Building everything in a "cloud native" mode restricts you where you can go from day one. Not good.

    This is a really great collection of modern DB papers.

    Folks here may also be interested in Andy Pavlo's series hosting developers from the team of many of these databases: https://youtube.com/c/CMUDatabaseGroup.

    I made something useful: http://root.rupy.se

    It has 100% read uptime without complexity.
