Interested in migrating away from big tech? :fediverse:
We can maintain your desired infrastructure on hosting of your choice as long as it meets our standards (Linux, Docker, stable networking etc).
We can even help you setup and manage your own on-premises servers for total data sovereignty.
All of the services we promote are open source and we absolutely hate lock in and drawbridging (paywalling features). All our infra is non provider specific so you can rest assured knowing that your infrastructure will last and can be maintained easily by others that aren't us.

We will be honest and say that for a small to medium organisation, their are more up front costs to a more open infrastructure.
There's more upfront costs e.g. discovery, communications, quotes, setup. We're a small co-op so we don't have the same amount invested in automation as big tech.
However these costs balance out over the long term as you don't get locked into the tiers and paywalling of big providers where as soon as you hit a certain scale they tighten the screws and start trying to get real money out of you.
That's how big tech work, they set themselves up using loads of capital, hook in the small fishes for free or cheap to get market dominance then once folks are locked into their workflows, they go for the big clients.
Stop playing their game! There is a different way.
