DevOps here. I think you're stuck in market segment purgatory. SaaS/PaaS exist to remove pain points. People are either going to go PaaS (Heroku) or they're going to roll their own in AWS/Digital Ocean/etc.

I've already thought to myself, "I could roll this into the open source packages in question in 2-4 weeks in time, give back to the community, AND it helps my reputation." Consider how many others out there have seen this and thought the same.

As a tech professional, I don't think you're going to find much demand. As an entrepreneur, I wish you the best.
