The Urban Jungle debate series is back and this time, we’re tackling one of the most talked-about topics in software architecture: Cloud vs. On-Premise.
We live in an era defined by the rise of cloud computing, the near ubiquity of AI implementation, and the relentless drive for innovation. Yet one question remains as relevant as ever: WHERE SHOULD YOUR DATA LIVE?
Is the Cloud truly the future — flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient?
Or does On-Premise still hold the crown when it comes to control, security, and reliability?
Let’s put both sides to the test — in an Oxford-style debate where logic and tech insights take center stage.
Choosing between Cloud and On-Premise goes far beyond tech, it’s a decision influenced by geopolitical dynamics, evolving regulations, and unpredictable economic pressures.
At this Urban Jungle edition, we’ll debate the nuances behind both approaches: from cost, scalability, and performance to security, customization, and long-term strategy.
