Your cloud and vibe-hosting vendor holds your users' data, your uptime, and your security strategy. The liability is still yours. Even when the breach is on their end.
That's the deal most builders are signing up for often without realizing it.
The cloud hosting conversation is noisy. Railway, Vercel, Netlify, Lovable, Base44, AWS, Azure, GCP. Everyone has a valid proposition, but few focus on sustainability and sovereignty, while most prioritize their business model, which treats compute and storage as overhead to monetize.
Recent security incidents at Vercel and Lovable aren't anomalies. They're the expected output of hypergrowth platforms where your stack is a line item in someone else's roadmap.
Meanwhile, ethical regional providers like Infomaniak and Hetzner get overlooked because their developer experience hasn't kept pace, even though the setup is far easier than most people assume. So builders default back to platforms built on top of the same Big Tech infrastructure they were trying to move away from.
Five things I think are true about where this is heading:
1. Cloud concentration is a structural problem. Three hyperscalers owning the majority of global compute it's an infrastructure monoculture and a business risk. Unsustainable economically and ecologically.
2. Ecosystem diversity is dangerously low. The "just deploy to Vercel" reflex is a symptom.
3. Regional providers need a DevEx and AgentEx reckoning. The ethics are right. The tooling isn't there yet. That gap is a real opportunity.
4. Idle compute is a wasted resource at civilizational scale. WASM, WebGPU, and projects like Internet Computer are early signals. Think BitTorrent architecture applied to computation: iPhones, home servers, gaming consoles, VPS as nodes. The infrastructure for this exists. The coordination layer doesn't yet.
5. Agents are making current DevEx and infrastructure tooling partially obsolete. If it doesn't evolve, it will expire. Agents change the constraints for infrastructure provisioning and that is an opportunity for businesses to own their infrastructure. The next generation of deployment tooling is agent-first, not retrofitted for agents.
6. Perhaps the most structural and political point: more centralized data centers alone isn't the answer. Smarter coordination of existing and distributed compute is.
The shift is real and not only for ethical and ideological reasons, but because there is a genuine business opportunity in better resource management through self-hosting and on-premises infrastructure.
That's what I'm exploring with Wooven: not just a better, more sovereign, more decentralized deployment tool. Instead, one that's both human and agent-friendly and proposes a different thesis about what cloud infrastructure should look like.
Infrastructure has been broken for European teams for years. Locked into hyperscalers, paying egress fees, hoping legal never asks where the data actually lives. Andres and I are building Wooven to fix that — sovereign deployments, real ownership, no compromises. Happy to answer any technical questions about how it works under the hood.
