# Sam Goodwin

Sam describes a cloud application as a computation with an infrastructure context, flow, result, or error. [Happy Path 116, 24:55](https://youtu.be/YEn4A7XxgF4?t=1495).

He explains that runtime clients, business logic, and infrastructure policies stay related even when they live in separate files. [Happy Path 116, 30:31](https://youtu.be/YEn4A7XxgF4?t=1831).
