Not unreasonable, I'm sure you've had at least one vendor/provider pull
the rug out from under you.

Cloud services are great for startups and small companies, but they're a
slippery slope of charges as you get bigger. My company is a huge AWS
client, and I was interested to read a blog post from the CTO at
37Signals, the people who make Basecamp. Interesting company.

They're pulling out of the cloud and posting numbers to support their
decision. At scale, there's an argument for doing it yourself.

"All Cloud All The Time" is a popular mantra among tech leadership, but
it comes at a cost. I'm interested to get more into hybrid cloud
offerings, where you can use on-premise and cloud services
interchangeably. If you have a workflow that doesn't need to be
accessible, doesn't need resiliency, keep it local.
