In this 5-minute clip from our recent webinar, Canopy's James Marks exposes the most dangerous side-effect of the cloud credit model: the migration loop. Instead of building their product, companies spend months hopping between vendors to chase new credits, falling into a cycle of constant, costly re-architecting.
