Can someone explain why a company would pay a cloud provider extra to manage an open source API for them when they could just run it in the cloud themselves?

- toomuchtodo 8y agoCheaper than spending the time doing it yourself until you’re paying people to do it for you. Time is the ultimate non-renewable resource. Throw dollars at the problem when you have them and it’s cheaper than your time.
