Let's take a quick look at History of Cloud Service.
On premise -> Time-Sharing -> Cloud
So first of all, we'r gong to talk about the world as we used to know it, which is when companies were in the on premise world.
Let's say i'm startup. and i'm spinning up newest, like social media website. Let's call <onstargram> or something. and i have five users. At this point, i have one server setting on my closet, i have one person just managing that server. Everything is fine because i only have five users.
The next day, world spreads and i have 1,000 users, and then my website keeps crashing. cause i only have one server for my service. and one server is not going to handle 1,000 users traffic.
So i have to do something called scailling. it was i had to go store, buy a brand new computer, put in on top of the other computer in my closet, download code on that, do a bunch of other stuff to add it to my network then now i could handle 1,000 users. That was a huge headache and painful time.
This is the reason the Cloud Service was created.
