How convenience Is Killing open standards
summary
Claim: major cloud providers push serverless and serverless surpasses containers so teams face practical vendor lock‑in. Evidence: Google Cloud lists managed Elasticsearch Redis Confluent partnerships; AWS publishes Open Distro for Elasticsearch; Terraform becomes the ubiquitous portability layer—Terraform as de facto abstraction. Surprising number: serverless deployments already outnumber container ones. Consequences: open source vendors change licenses (MongoDB Redis), companies re‑engineer off cloud (Datadog Dropbox), so plan export paths, measure true cloud costs, and demand interoperable APIs not just convenience.
