Moonfire’s Technical Founder Summit will be on Wednesday, 1 October 2025 at Civo Tech Junction in London!

You’re building an AI start-up. How do you navigate the cloud computing market?

• AWS, Google, and Microsoft have been increasing their margins 📈 and often struggle to meet GPU demand 🍃
• There are SO MANY AI inference compute services, some have their own hardware, some resell other cloud’s hardware 😵‍💫
  • Are these AI inference services reliable? Do I need to use a few of them for redundancy? Which ones? Do I have to build that real-time multi-provider inference system now?! 🤕
• If I decouple the GPU workloads and the CPU workloads onto different clouds, do I have a “home cloud”? ☁️
• There must be a simpler solution… 🙏
