Crazy to see him just bury their DB provider. I wonder how many SaaS-infra providers that aim to provide a more managed infrastructure experience over AWS would share the same fate if one of their users blew up like Cursor!
At least for now the large cloud providers are effectively the best place to run workloads at scale, so all these smaller SaaS providers are probably trying to gain customers by advertising the simpler and more productive dev experience. With the lure to smaller teams not needing to understand the full blown complexity of managing infrastructure on AWS, but in-actuality the profits are probably solely driven by overcommitting compute resources on shared fleets, and clever capacity management.
I wonder if the cost of software development reduces, which side of the equation will give out first. Will there be more new software developers, so managed experience providers like Yugabyte will have a bigger target market thus continuing to grow, or will dev tools get so good that smaller teams will directly be able to use AWS and bypass the UX benefits some of these SaaS companies provide.
