I understand the value of all the PaaS and SaaS, but I could never get 100% behind them, even when they started. The highest I ever went was DigitalOcean (so IaaS). I tried some layers on top, lime serverpilot (automated php hosting on your DO droplets), but the entire thing always felt too risky, like giving the keys to your kingdom so someone whose pricing, policies and features you had no control over. I decided to always stay on a layer that is so commoditized that behavior (business, pricing, features, failure modes) is basically uniform across providers. I am atrações to killer pricing and stay away from killer (read lock-in) features. If I need a platform, I setup an open source one, like kubernetes, coolify, etc. This would have been fine if these startups grew on the merits (like DO). But they want to run infrastructure like they run a social network. No.
