You know that this is literally not a concern right? It is part of business life to navigate such a situation.
When I was a SWE, I've done migrations between bare metal to AWS to GCP and then both, and then all plus Azure..
It is the cost of doing business. You pick what works best at a price that is optimized for your business needs now. You have a war chest so when they start becoming assholes, you have leverage to fight back or pivot.
I'd rather spend $200-400/mo to unblock myself NOW than do something dumb with 5 or even 100 tokens per second output that isn't actually that good as what the current providers offer. I'm going through millions of tokens a day.. I couldn't do that with local "RIGHT NOW" (<--- important)
