Not really. My service may depend on other services that I have no control over. Perhaps I have extra money to scale up my own service, but those other services may be owned by different teams or organizations entirely.
- shukantpal 5y agoWith money, you can in-house those services and scale them up if those "other" organizations won't scale up.
- ozzythecat 5y agoWith infinite money, sure. Realistically you won’t have the budget. And even if it’s “in house”, it’s going to be some service run by another team or organization within your company that has their own priorities, roadmap, and deliverables. They’re not just going to scale up their service because you asked them. They basically don’t have to do anything for you at all. And even if they agree - everything has a cost. There’s simply the overhead of even sending an email or a Slack message and setting up a meeting, getting people ramped up on your use case, why you need them to scale, for how long, for what use cases, etc etc. everything has a cost and money and budget are always constrained.
