- 12Why are cloud bills so unexpectedly high?Public cloud infrastructure locks teams into ecosystems with severe exit barriers and unpredicted bills from resource overruns. This dynamic leaves companies trapped with massive, uncontrollable hosting costs that can suddenly spike by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- 7Why do self-hosted emails keep going to spam?Major email providers constantly flag self-hosted messages as spam, leaving owners unable to reach inboxes reliably. This forces people to abandon self-hosting entirely and rely on external services like Fastmail just to get their messages delivered.
