You’re probably in one of two situations. Either you’re launching something new and trying to avoid a cloud decision that turns into a five-year architectural tattoo, or you’re already on one provider and getting that uneasy feeling that the bill, team structure, and operational sprawl are starting to run the company instead of support it....
