> Would love to hear why people think this is a non-issue It is an issue, but like, you have to get over it. Most of the complications come from dependencies (db, caching, etc). How can I, as a web service creator, make it easier to install and configure a postgres DB? I can't! Software is complicated, and sometimes the requirements for software are complicated. Sure, I could release a version that uses sqlite but then people will whine that it's too slow and doesn't scale. If I release a version that supports both, now I've introduced an entire layer of complexity that I have to support (and tends to break endlessly in my experience). Yeah, it sucks. but if you're really that worried about it, like you mentioned, use a SaaS service for the app itself or for its dependencies.
