Your AI-Generated App Runs on Their Cloud, and That's the Problem
The New Stack, Monday, June 15th, 2026
AI-generated apps deployed on vendor cloud infrastructure create dependency, lock-in, and control problems for developers.
When developers use AI tools to generate applications, those apps typically run on the vendor's cloud infrastructure, creating a problematic dependency. This concentrates control with the cloud provider rather than the developer or organization.
The piece explores how this architecture limits flexibility, increases lock-in risk, and raises data sovereignty and operational independence concerns.
Developers face reduced ability to migrate workloads, customize environments, or fully control infrastructure decisions.
