@BexelInitiative oh definitely macroeconomic pressure
Cloud spending grew 19% YoY to $63 billion in Q1 2023. That's a lot for a big market, but it's quite the slowdown from the 32% growth in Q1 2022. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google own 65% of the market. They'll do everything to keep it that way by charging less in the techcession.
