Is everyone in commercial software development finally saying, “Fuck it, we’ll run the shit ourselves”?
I’m an infrastructure and devops noob here; take my words with a grain of salt.
I need GPU clusters with ECC VRAM for research and found it’s cheaper to just have my own high-ish performance compute in my own office I paid for once than pay AWS/Azure/GCS/etc forever or at least everytime I want to train a custom DNN model. Sometimes I use Linode but it’s for monitoring. But I can run shit at will and I have data sovereignty.
Has the paradigm shifted back to developing *and * serving things in house now that big tech vendor-lock/tie-ins have so many dark patterns that scalability isn’t cost-effective with them? Or is it just my own pipe dream?

They are backups, you potentially get copy’s of the data in multiple locations across continents.
BUT I agree, you are relying on them entirely for it. Lots of vendor tie in stuff in the industry unfortunately.

If you are going to use it enough to pay for it sure. But that’s always been the case.
The main benefits of cloud are it’s ability to scale quickly, it’s ability to provide geographic reach and the conversation of capex to opex.
