Transactional Object Storage? (mbrt.dev)
I was frustrated by the gap between stateless and stateful applications in the cloud. While I could easily spin up a stateless application as a “serverless” function in any major cloud provider and pretty much forget about it, persisting data between requests was a game of pick two among three: cheap, strongly consistent, portable.

We're (Finally) Going to the Cloud (stackexchange.com)
Stack Overflow has existed since 2008. At that time, it was a logical choice to run this from our own hardware in a datacenter. The company started with a small group of people who owned every aspect of the application, from the infrastructure to the code. We built a monolithic application that scaled incredibly well and we squeezed the most out of the hardware we had.

I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100 (elliott-king.github.io)
A few months ago, I was adapting an official guide for an AWS service. Specifically, integrating OpenSearch with Amplify. I worked through the guide, and modified and debugged it for my own purposes. A few weeks later, I received an AWS bill for over $1200, and almost had a heart attack. I hadn’t selected the most expensive OS instance type. I hadn’t even used it much at all.

LocalStack raises $25M to help developers emulate and test cloud apps locally (techcrunch.com)
Knowing how your cloud application will behave in production usually requires significant development and testing in the environment in which it will be deployed, be that AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or wherever. But this can be a resource-intensive endeavor, particularly with issues relating to latency (the time it takes to constantly send data) and the costs associated with this.
