Seems like you started a reply before my toned down edit. Apologies for the harshness. I can understand it as a way to explore the problem space more and probably as a funnel to upsell other devops services.

I also get that products, and people, have to get a start somewhere - unfortunately scammers and mal actors look similar. I figured it was worth raising for others to consider, but did so near the bottom on the comment chain rather than top level so as to not derail discussion.

Edit: fighting autocorrect, detail -> derail

all good! I'm pretty new to the entire tech space as I'm the new hire brought in, so I understand and your response also helped me understand I should try building more trust in the copy

Yeah a possible upsell or doesn't have to be if this service is actually useful to anyone out there. We will potentially start charging a small fee (dependent on so many other factors, but hey you'll be getting an actual human expert in this age of automation to speak to eitherways) on this months from now - we haven't decided or thought of anything further as we don't know yet if people feel this is enough of a pain to be open to solutions, as obviously one can do it themselves to but at what cost of time?

any other feedback you may have on such a service or legitimate places to find users this can help would also be appreciated!
