    The Cost of the Cloud

    Cloud services are all the rage right now, but are they worth it? There are many aspects to the question, and the answer is almost always going to be "it depends." Do you really need to spin up capacity more quickly than you can buy hardware and get it running? Do you really need to be able to spin capacity down without leaving any hardware behind? Is cloud really the best use of your team's time and talent?



    David Heinemeier Hansson joins Tom and Russ to talk about the economics and uses of cloud, and why his company has moved away from public cloud services.
