There's this cycle of posts that are _When other people do things for you, it's expensive_

Look at these outrageous AWS prices. Look at these outrageous Datadog prices. Look at these outrageous Snowflake prices...

And then of course, they lead to _Look how much cheaper my homegrown solution is_

It's a little tiring. You make trade-offs all the time. If the price isn't worth it, don't pay for it.
