Yup. And I think I'll add:

Screw the compute budget, the tripled team size without shipping any more features is a bigger problem here.

I've seen the opposite. "Oh, you moved your app to the cloud and rebuilt it to be full cicd and self healing? Cool. Your team of 15 is now 3."

Not the effort to move to the cloud.
