Lessons Learned: The Balancing Act Of Migrating To The Cloud

Cloud computing is perhaps not as headline-grabby as blockchain or machine learning, but it's just as revolutionary.

This is generally recommendable, and spells certain advantages like having a faster, safer, and more scalable IT system for the company's employees—however, the process of implementing such a system also brings challenges, some less obvious than others. In this article I've endeavoured to catalogue the most common errors that companies make in their cloud migrations.
