Agreed, but our engineering team has grown considerably in the last few 
years and frankly we've outgrown pieces of our build infrastructure that 
served us well when we were smaller.B  For example, we've switched from 
local compute clusters to the cloud because it wasn't cost effective for 
us to maintain enough compute nodes in our datacenter to service our 
needs.B  Sometimes these external factors have lead us to make other 
changes that wouldn't make sense by themselves.
