I told our VP of engineering the other day that the problem they're having is putting everything into locked-in/managed services when you should be owning your product. The service I built has 99.99% availability, most of that was achieved by putting it in K8S clusters in multiple regions behind a CDN. Only managed service I rely on is SQL with better guaranteed uptime than I have (also way cheaper than doing it ourselves). Aside from SQL, I can lift-and-shift almost all of our services at a moments notice. The only problem would be slightly degraded database query time, but we do a lot of caching in the clusters.
