Last week, I ordered a pizza on a food delivery app. And they promised the delivery in 30 minutes. Similarly, all digital services: Apps, websites, cloud platforms, etc, make promises about speed, uptime, and reliability. The difference is how they track and measure those promises.

Oct 28, 2025 By Larry Advey In CloudZero
SaaS, AI, and technology spending today looks like a more intense version of how it was a decade ago when everyone first migrated to the cloud. The mentality was and, at some companies, still is to build build build and worry about controlling expenditures and optimizing costs later.
