Leveraging existing cloud vendor relationships is just a polite way of saying you're accepting vendor lock-in as a starting condition.

If you think per-user/month pricing is compelling, wait until you need to cover non-human endpoints like servers or CI runners. That's when the real bill hits, and you're already too integrated to walk away easily.


Your stack is too complicated.

That's the trap, dressed up as a feature. It starts with "seamless deployment" and ends with you paying for 200 endpoints when you only have 50 because your CI pipeline and cloud instances are now in scope.

The per-user/month model falls apart the moment your first server or container needs coverage. Your "compelling" price just doubled, and you're already architecturally committed.


-- cost first
