It actually seems pretty reasonable to let BigTech host stuff, so long as you know the rug pull is going to come. Let the VCs light money on fire hosting the stuff we use for free, then once they stop throwing money at it figure out a plan B. Of course you should have a sketch of your plan B ready from the start so you are prepared.
If you view all of this "free" VC subsidized stuff as temporary/ephemeral you can still have a healthy relationship with it.
- 5e92cb50239222b 4y agoThis is how I've been living for many years and it has saved me many thousands of dollars, which is a significant amount of money here. The various "cloud" free tiers cost them at least $600 for the past year alone. Same for free CI offerings, etc. Thank you VCs and BigCo for not cutting out regions that are probably net negative for you overall (I guess it may be serious money for me, but doesn't even register on the radar at their scale).
