  Hi Yaniv, Nice article! This is a conversation I've had many times and you summarised it well. How do you see the comlexity risk from having multiple cloud providers and mutliple technologies offset against the concentration risk?

  Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, you are absolutely right. As long as top management is not aware of certain necessary trade-offs, it will be impossible for analysts & architects to correctly do their job. But I hope my blog can bring maybe a little bit (not making too much illusions either :-)) of idea, that technology is always a matter of making trade-offs.
Trade-offs Are Inevitable in Software Delivery - Remember the CAP Theorem

  Woz an FI that spec'ced 2400TPS for its onramp system to an A2A RTP rail, expecting to hit that throughput in Year 3. After 15 years, the entire scheme itself hasn't reached half of that throughput! But I know exactly what would've happened if we'd moderated the customers' expectations upfront.  While I agree with almost all your points, it's virtually impossible to win deals when the CEO / CIO has just come back fresh from attending a tradeshow where they were told by the Gartners and McKinseys and SamAs that e.g. ChatGPT can do everything faster, better and cheaper than humans. Against that backdrop, any vendor who tells them that they can get only any 2 out of 3 because some Eric Brewer / CAP Theorem said so would be branded as pessimistic and thrown out of vendor shortlist for being incompetent, unenthusiastic, or both. C'est la Vie.
