the issue with all these (mongodb, elasticsearch, sentry, redis, etc...) is that software doesn't work with zero marginal costs, software's creation and distribution costs are different, the same goes to anything digital. Selling 1 is the same as selling 2, is the same as 200. If anything, distribution the costs will go up due to bandwidth (unless the distribution becomes decentralized). The problem is that we live in a world economy desgined by and for material products with (in many cases) marginal costs. Making a single paperclip is expensive, making one thousand makes every paperclip cheaper, making more makes them even cheaper. If paperclips were software, the moment anybody makes a single paperclip, anybody can have one. Software is (or rather, digital things are) different. The best model of ownership over software does not get along with the way ownership works in the market.
