☁️ The Cloud Was Never Yours #
SaaS promised freedom. It delivered control. #
We built the digital world on rented land.
And now the landlords are changing the rules.
💥 When AWS goes down, the internet goes dark #
October 2025 — AWS region US-EAST-1 suffered a major outage that took down parts of the internet.
Payment systems, e-commerce, chat apps, IoT — everything stalled.
Analysts reported global service disruptions, DNS failures, and billions in losses.
One glitch in someone else’s data center — and your business stops breathing.
🔒 Google Cloud erased a client account #
Over 600,000 users lost access to their retirement data after Google Cloud accidentally deleted UniSuper’s account.
Root cause? A Google Cloud configuration error.
Their data existed — until one line of code said otherwise.
🪦 AWS deleted an engineer’s account and 10 years of data #
“A digital execution,” he called it.
In 2024, a software engineer reported that AWS permanently deleted his account and 10 years of data without warning.
No explanation. No appeal. No recovery.
If your data isn’t physically yours, it isn’t yours at all.
☁️ The Illusion of Control #
SaaS makes us obedient to other people’s policies, APIs, and whims.
You subscribe to convenience — but what you really sign up for is dependence.
One policy change, one suspension — and everything you’ve built disappears.
“There’s a lie at the core of the SaaS ecosystem — customers are losing out because of it.”
— Dan Palmer, “Trust in SaaS” (2024)
🚫 Convenience ≠ Freedom #
Convenience is always the first stage of dependency.
Today you’re “in the cloud.”
Tomorrow, the cloud closes above you.
💡 There is another way #
We found a way to take back control — without losing simplicity.
