Short Summary: Many companies evaluate cloud platforms when they reach scalability limits on existing infrastructure, with migration decisions typically driven by a broader mix of factors: cost optimization, availability, security, and access to managed services.

Apr 1, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
The first 70% of a debugging cycle is usually spent on "plumbing", the undocumented toil of syncing databases, matching service versions, and aligning networking to mimic a production failure.
