Jul 10, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Database migrations are where the mock data problem shows up most clearly. A migration that adds an index to a table with 500 rows in the development database runs in milliseconds and passes every test.

In this clip, Civo Product Director Russ Smith breaks down the four forces that have converged to shift the default: spiralling bills that are no longer defensible at scale, the Broadcom acquisition that detonated VMware pricing overnight, sovereignty becoming a boardroom procurement requirement, and AI making new hardware brutally expensive.
