📌 Last week, I wrote about Cloud Rent in Action – how layers of middlemen drive up the cost of running a simple SaaS stack. Netlify's new pricing update feels like the same story, playing out live.
When you pay for cloud hosting, you're not just paying for compute. You're paying rent. And it adds up fast.
These days, hosting your app often means choosing between complexity, lock-in, and sky-high pricing. Whether it's a shiny new platform or a slick developer tool, most of them are just wrappers around the same old giants: AWS, GCP, and Azure.
And those giants are expensive by design.
