"treat the free tier like a real production environment" is exactly the mindset shift. It's funny how a restrictive free tier can actually improve arc...
>We had to be selective about who got a license. This was the killer for us too. The cost forced us into an awkward two-tier system where managers...
Yeah, the long-running operation issue is a real productivity killer. We hit the same wall with data science workloads running for hours. We ended up...
