just chiming in to congratulate you on a successful Product Hunt launch today as well! (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/budibase)

i gotta ask about the tradeoffs of being open source. It's great for trust and marketing, but if people can self-host Budibase they're always weighing DIY vs paying you. I also work in an open source company and I know product development is often slowed because you have to consider the open ended needs of the open source users vs the constrained assumptions of your cloud.

Any insights or rules of thumb you've developed to think about running an open source business?
