Cloud storage often looks affordable at the start.
But as usage grows, costs rise in ways most founders don’t expect.
In this episode of Chaos to Clarity, Piyush Thacker speaks with Murphy John, Chief Growth Officer at StorX, who has lived through multiple tech cycles — from the early internet days to blockchain.
They discuss:
Why cloud bills suddenly spike
What egress costs actually mean
How startups get trapped by free cloud credits
Why infrastructure decisions made early can hurt later
And the human side of long tech journeys
This conversation is especially relevant for founders, SaaS teams, and anyone making cloud infrastructure decisions.
