This article is part of the series JEG2's Questions. In a previous article of this series I talked about how we must remain ever vigilant against what is making it into our code. I talked about the need to always analyze the cost of everything we are agreeing to carry forward. But there are two sides to every coin. Now we need to talk about when you need to fight to add more code, process, and infrastructure. This is the second concern that I always try to keep in my thoughts.
> Moving from a physical data centre to the cloud also has some trade-offs; for instance, the cost will be approximately five times higher than running the system in the data centre; with initial data, it’s not unlikely the annual cost may be up to 2,000,000 USD.

TLDR: We’ve successfully moved the main Crossref systems to the cloud! We’ve more to do, with several bugs identified and fixed, and a few still ongoing. However, it’s a step in the right direction and a significant milestone, as, whilst it is a much larger financial investment, it addresses several risks and limitations and shores up the Crossref infrastructure for the future.

What's this? An abstract syntax tree? A bytecode? What does that even mean anymore?
Next Wednesday, Octave is going to explore those questions in his ICOOOLPS presentation.
