Disclaimer: We're a startup so things are obviously subject to change!

Right now, the business model is around running a single SpiceDB service globally so that you as a user don't have to figure out how to deploy and manage the service at scale.

This service is especially tricky to run because of the need for low latency, high availability, and a single globally replicated service. For an individual company to run HA clusters all over the world would be cost prohibitive, but when all Authzed.com customers share the cost it becomes more reasonable.

That's pretty clear -- and best wishes for a successful outcome! However, given the history of other companies, the fundamental follow-up question would be:

What are your plans for responding to large companies/cloud providers/... offering the same service based on your software?
