Snap’s founders and venture capitalist supporters hope that its growth rate will give it a valuation of between $19.5 billion and $22.2 billion. If it hits those kind of numbers then any penny spent on the public cloud will be worth it.
But, will the money you spend on the public cloud be worth it to you?
