Lured by the promise of infinite elasticity and reduced overhead, many organizations initially pursued an all-in public cloud mandate. But as these architectures matured, a stark reality emerged: unpredictable consumption costs, data egress fees, and the "latency tax" of moving massive datasets have led to significant buyer’s remorse. 

When global giants like Marriott realize that a monolithic cloud strategy can compromise data sovereignty and operational agility—especially in regions with strict regulatory requirements or varying infrastructure reliability—EDB is ready to meet their need for a sophisticated hybrid strategy. Unlike hyperscaler-locked solutions, EDB Postgres^® AI is built for this exact transition, providing a unified platform that runs identically on premises, in private clouds, or across multiple public clouds.
