Third, hardware competition is increasingly fierce. While the name of the game is scale, these dynamics suggest it's not a mature market share game for the networks yet, as much as they're caught in the middle. On the sell side, those hardware and platform vendors late to the party are especially motivated sellers.

State and local agencies must spend taxpayer dollars efficiently while building a culture that supports innovation and productivity.

Finally, H-P pulling the plug on WebOS devices (if not the OS) may portend an inevitable shakeout in smartphone & tablet platforms, while market battles waged with patents threaten to make innovation an early victim. VC firms late to the game will add more froth to valuations. But it is likely to be a short breather.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. We would still be building higher and higher on top of VMs because that's where platform innovation would have stopped evolving. We have several players like Cloudflare innovating to become alternative lower-cost cloud providers. So why bother innovating?

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. The idea that preventing browser innovation is pro-user is particularly risible, leading to entirely avoidable catch-22 scenarios for developers and users.

I shared this script to dump the previous 8 hours of data from Query Store and received results back for 11 production servers across multiple verticals including financial services, game publishing, fitness tracking and insurance. Since CPU and IO consumption translate directly to server hardware and cloud spend, this is significant.
