I have never quite understood this value proposition (maybe I am not the target audience?) The point of PaaS is to avoid DevOps... making a PasS with an eject just feels orthogonal to the value prop of the main business. Ejecting seems like a low probability event as they CHOSE PaaS in the first place. (unless the money got really high)

We included Porter in our post-Heroku research and chose Render. We have loved Render and expect to be with them for quite a while (as we were with Heroku). If they happen to go south as Heroku did, we will find another PaaS... we will not 'eject' to bare metal or self configuration on AWS.

There’s a point in which the hosted PaaS is too expensive.

And what will you do when there are millions to be saved?

I am not the target audience as I believe in making profit (a lot of it) so I really don’t believe in any cloud hosting as it is a rip off and even at $1000 a month, let alone more vs our millions $ of profits (our hosting of our main products is $89/mo currently and 0% downtime the past 10 years), I rather have that as profit than giving it to aws or porter or whatever. It is almost never worth it; if it takes more effort to deploy or develop, you are Facebook or Google etc (probably you are not and never will get close; if you do, you can do something at that time if needed) or probably hired the wrong people (resume driven developers) or using the wrong stack (something modern and horrible JavaScript horror most likely).
