Thanks for your interest on my use cases. It definitely wouldn't make sense to do the work you can outsource for 10 or even 100 euros a month and your example for MySQL 8 is indeed very good. (I run many RDS instances too so I'm familiar with the product and its price.) However, I would like you to consider people like me a potential target too for top-spec use cases. Would I be willing to consider to pay x3 times rather than x10? Maybe! Probably at the cost 1-3 year commitment, as AWS, I would. Who knows?

Absolutely! It's something I'll discuss with the team. Thanks for raising it :)

  And something else, for someone like me, one of the biggest PITAs are billing, signing up new providers, keeping track of expenses, etc. So, if I could just subscribe to your products via AWS marketplace it would be awesome! Usually big companies have a budget line and one of these is the cloud provider. They don't tend to scrutinize the bill, just the bottom line.

    Yes! This is also in our roadmap, the idea is to publish images of the softwares to the marketplaces (aws, azure, gcp) including the management fees. This way it will be deployable in a click from the marketplace and paid there on the existing cloud bill, but still fully managed and accessible through our dashboard.
