For some additional context, I believe most cloud providers who started on FPGAs for network devices have switched to “smart” ASICs, where some limited portion of the device is programmable.
The issue with FPGAs, is that if you have enough scale, an ASIC starts to make more sense.
Still, I believe they provide a glimpse into the hardware of the future!
