I would imagine people who need either more AWS can supply (or cheaper) but cannot pay for it, and also haven't figured out how to run it themselves, to be a very limited set. Happy to be proven wrong though and curious about what you will find out :) Is there a way to keep in loop?

The thing that is impractical to do on premise is "transparent scaling" say your load increases and you need a way bigger box that's the kind of problem the service can solve (take slave offline remount storage on a bigger box catchup on replication switch to slave repeat for former master). We are at the early stage just investigating if we should move forward so @andre1sk on twitter would prob the only place :)
