In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, two guests from Stark & Wayne, Brian Seguin, Chief Operating Officer and James Hunt, Director of R&D, joined us to talk about an existential question: whether to build, buy or rent cloud-native technologies. Some of the topics we covered included:

• What are the common mistakes companies make when they move to cloud-native technologies?
• What are the factors that help customers choose one of the three?
• Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated cloud adoption as people rushed to the cloud. Now as things are settling down, what challenges are people experiencing?
• We talked about low-code/no-code, which while does help companies get started, also creates a situation where companies don’t know much about the software stack powering their products and services?
• We then talked about cloud vendor lock-in and data gravity.
• What suggestions the duo has for companies who are considering to buy, rent or build cloud-native technologies for their products and services?
