> What happens if Flightcontrol go down for whatever reason? Or are sold off like other's we've seen, or god forbid you need some fine tuning that isn't in the Flightcontrol's website.

These are all valid points. This is a fundamental issue with relying on non-open 3rd party solutions and (leaky) abstractions. The best solution here would be some standard that the hyperscalers implement themselves, but this is of course incredibly unlikely.

I'm kind of amazed that they haven't already. It would be such a good selling point for Azure, or GCP, etc. "We have a UI like Heroku or Vercel. Compare that to our confusing competitors!"


They don’t want to be easily replaceable. The closest thing to a universal interface is K8S, and thats just a small part of the overall API surface.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that at some point if these tools catch on.

AWS in particular has a pattern of bringing toys everyone loves in house and making managed services out of them.
