Adobe is buying Figma because building collaborative experiences is hard

Adobe has agreed to acquire Figma, a collaborative design tool, for $20 billion on September 15th. Figma is a browser-based platform that allows team members to work together in real-time on designs. The acquisition comes after rumors of Figma being considered by Microsoft. Adobe's high purchase price suggests they may utilize Figma's technology rather than shutting it down. This deal highlights the growing importance of shared, live collaborative experiences and the need for dependable infrastructure to support them.
