The best cloud strategy? Crawl, walk, run.

A survey of 300 technical decision-makers revealed that around half of the companies in the US, UK, and Germany are already utilizing multi-cloud strategies, with some even running workloads across multiple clouds. However, the transition to a multi-cloud setup isn't universally beneficial and often isn't necessary for achieving high availability since single-cloud solutions can suffice for most applications. The complexity and cost associated with multi-cloud deployments, especially for relational databases, require a compelling use case to justify the transition. Companies often opt for multi-cloud for business reasons like regulatory compliance and avoiding vendor lock-in rather than purely technical benefits. The modernization journey from legacy databases to a cloud-native, multi-cloud environment is challenging and should proceed gradually, focusing on incremental benefits at each stage. CockroachDB is highlighted as a versatile tool that can support companies throughout their cloud journey, from on-premises to multi-cloud deployments, offering compatibility and migration tools to ease transitions.
