We moved from pure cloud to hybrid cloud to save money. Basically moved our data warehouse to our own hardware in a Colo.

Then we moved our build infra as well, but it has the option to "expand" into the cloud to pickup extra capacity during high load conditions.

We're now planning to move our production environment and database to colo hardware that we own.

This is great to hear. I'm sure you're saving a lot of money. Do you think this is a trend that may happen more in the future. Because I wonder if cloud service providers can keep in increasing prices yet hardware is becoming more powerful yet you still need a large workforce to maintain cloud services.
