The Potential of Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure: A Blend of Web2 and Blockchain Technologies
The computing industry has undergone significant changes, moving from mainframes to personal computers and now to the cloud. Currently, businesses typically rely on large companies like Amazon or Google to deploy web infrastructure, but the open-source community is developing a decentralized solution that would allow for greater freedom and price competition. The success of Linux demonstrates the potential of a decentralized cloud. However, previous attempts at open-source cloud computing platforms have failed due to fragmentation and lack of standardization, but the use of blockchain technology and public goods mechanisms could prevent this issue. To succeed in the Web3 industry, companies must focus on product iteration and meeting user needs, rather than simply providing storage or computing power. While there is tough competition from well-funded players, projects like Banyan, Estuary, and ArDrive are leading the way for decentralized cloud infrastructure.
