- The author is launching a new cloud computing platform called exe.dev, driven by personal passion for computers and frustration with current cloud services.
- Current cloud providers are criticized for fundamental flaws: VMs are inefficiently tied to CPU/memory, disk performance is slow compared to modern SSDs, and networking is overpriced.
- The rise of agents (LLMs) will increase software creation, amplifying the need for better, more manageable cloud infrastructure that is affordable and performant.
- Exe.dev addresses these issues by offering flexible resource allocation, local NVMe disks with async replication, global regions, and an anycast network for low latency.
