And when that VPS goes down? Where are these projects?

In the scenario I listed about my last startup, it would be silly to host those on a bunch of VMs and not use managed services even if they are hosted versions of open source software. The management of infrastructure takes too much time once it gets necessarily complex and doesn’t add. Skid to the business

I’m not sure what you’re asking. I mean, I think you know that when a VPS goes down, you have downtime. If you don’t have a mechanism to automatically restart it, then you restart it manually.

There are relatively few SaaS products that actually need five nines of uptime.

And sure, you might think one approach is silly, but that’s just your opinion. The fact that there are plenty of startups not doing things the specific way you personally think they should be done is not a matter of opinion.
