Europe is crying out for sovereign clouds. If this is to be a viable alt cloud, US jurisdiction is a no.
Not sure we can move away from cpu/memory/io budgeting towards total metal saturation because code isn't what it used to be because no one handles malloc failure any more, we just crash OOM
Europe is already moving into the EU cloud. Hetzner, OGH Cloud and so on as well as local data centers where partner companies set up own cloud with various things to rival office 365. So far it's mainly the public sector. My own city cut their IT budget by 70% by switching from Microsoft.
The key point is the partner companies. Almost nobody is actually running their own clouds the way they would with various 365 products, AWS or Azure. They buy the cloud from partners, similar to how they used to (and still do) buy solutions from Microsoft partners. So if you want to "sell cloud" you're probably going to struggle unless you get some of these onboard. Which again would probably be hard because I imagine a lot of what they sell is sort of a package which basically runs on VM's setup as part of the package that they already have.
For anybody interested, the meat of 'EU sovereign' means EU companies, not US or UK companies with EU servers. (because of CLOUD Act and the UK-US bilateral arrangement connected to it).
International visitors might tell us more about benefits of non EU, US or UK nexus companies/legal/rights.

Jira's now discontinued server version had a sequence table to stop you sharding it. It also made disaster recovery from a hard shutdown awful. I have nothing good to say about Atlassian.
Atlassian, and JIRA specifically, are responsible for so much wasted time and capital expenditure. If I could get ahold of metrics like "hours spent building, using, and maintaining JIRA" versus "value obtained from JIRA" for each of the companies I've worked at, I'm pretty sure I could generate a report so scathing that nobody would ever use it again.
Gatekeeping your work organization system from the people working on, and often MANAGING it is such a huge friction point I'm amazed they ever got clientele. I'm an Admin on a project right now and I can't change our status types without going through our assigned Atlassian rep.
And don't even get me started on the dumpster fire that is BitBucket. Ever tried to use the API? it's somehow even more worthless than the UI.
Their Windows sensor has made development almost unworkable. Not sure why but I haven't noticed the OSX sensor slow things down appreciably. I suspect my Windows profile is configured to be more aggressive?
This is something I've been unable to articulate as succinctly as you have - thanks.
In the past I put it down my experienced approach and what I need from others: make it work (mediocre solutions that deliver 80% value are fine!), then make it better (reflect and refactor until readable/approachable/idiomatic) before finally (stretch goal) make it faster (break idiomatic paradigms, vectorize etc.)
Python has a few weird issues like this. The last one I encountered was with a class inheriting Thread, join and the SQL Server ODBC driver on Linux. Fairly sure I hit page faults thanks to a shallow copy on driver allocated string data but didn't have the time to investigate like the hero of this blog post.
