That's gold, thanks! So, what I understood from the MemoryDB story is... value-for-money ... and try to avoid lock-in. But -from the Doppler bit-, a "soft" lock-in is acceptable if the price is right.

Did I grossly misread something?

I guess I don't feel super locked in to doppler either; everything takes creds via env vars these days, so it's not even that locked in. But there would be a bit of work to migrate thing, etc, like with everything.

Good value is probably the most important thing; the value could be speed or efficiency or whatever, but that's obviously the first bar.

Open source is not high up on the list of questions.
