Entire companies are built upon providing fast, managed services - Algolia, Firebase and Heroku to name but a few.
Is your point that the market is simply too small/doesn’t exist or that the value prop is simply too weak / defensible?
- sitkack 6y agoNot arguing over managed services, although, they are nearly a yaml file away from being made obsolete. If there is an OSS system that does everything you do, that isn't a big differentiator. As soon as you have any sort of traction, then the second competitor will swoop in, Lyft, Gitlab, Indiegogo. You need to have defensible differentiation. Otherwise why not just run the OSS system on K8S and sell the service?
