Often it is hidden from the consumer’s eye as it empowers applications rather than being the end game but analytics is becoming more prevalent. In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Cloud enables self-service analytics.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. The disincentive to game service pricing levels in order to create short-term profits at the expense of long-term investment will be overwhelming.
