But what it's becoming isn't the point, the point of the loose translation is that the location of the furnace melting it down to become nails isn't specified in the original statement. The rest of the article implies it most likely went to Malta for resale and then somewhere else to become nails.
2. resources (fish) is widely corrupt and just a few billioners reap the benefits (proportionally)
3. there are loopholes. Shippers who work for a faroe islands company, work abroad, has their residence in an other country pay 0% tax (something like that)
4. the tax code has not much less complexity than say norway.

Yeah for sure, I know what you're getting at. Though it's not really so much about performance (there is caching) -- There's a chunk of functionality that comes with Cloud/Enterprise. The majority of this has to do with metrics/observability and monitoring tools, or access-control tools for teams.
And look under "Features" and "Security" you can get a decent idea of what the differences are between OSS and the Cloud product.
There's 2 demographics I think Cloud stands out to -- those who want convenience ("I don't want to think about/manage my own instance"), and those who want an integrated APM tool or more security & access-control features, or are working on teams/orgs.

This is always neat to hear! I don't blame you, with Cloud being $99 there could be potential for some future tier to fill the gap between OSS and Cloud. Like "I have some weekend projects but nothing I can afford to blow $100/mo" on, you know?
I don't know enough (or really anything) about the business side though. It could be that $99 might be the only number where it starts to make sense to offer this sort of thing, based on infra costs/complexity. Or this could be the stupid thing I've ever said. I'm not a Cloud-Scientist ;^)
Exactly! I really do think a tier is missing. I was very excited about hasura cloud when It came. My dream was to move all my hasura instances to the platform. However I could not defend spending $99/month on each weekend projects or small client work just to get my instances to europe (US = very high latency). Hopefully a ‘hobby-pro’ tier will come at some point :)
.. oh, and keep up the good work. I really do love the product!
This should be something like "Malta, to become nails, next".
spiker = nails
