Not affiliated but gcp could use some more recognition... as quick example firebase is also "deployment" and "identity verification". It's only mentioned as "database" which really does not do it much justice.

#22Why are most of these services rather than open source projects that fill these roles?
We used to build startups by piecing together other open-source offerings with our own programmatic secret sauce.
Cash is plentiful and time is valuable, so it is now easier to patch together a bunch of SaaS tools.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Any thoughts, folks? Is this a good opportunity?
Sure, everything is an opportunity. Make it happen! On the other hand, the traditional wisdom is that a lack of competition isn't a good sign.
That is what I was thinking, no competitors = red flag.
Is it really that hard to roll your own and do you really want that being maintained by a 3rd party?

#28Needs to denote difference between price per month and price per user per month.
Especially on items like support and HR. Apps that charge per user in “flat hierarchy” companies like mine where any employee can do anything is death to your service because I’m not paying for all my employees when we equally share the workloads depending on schedule.

Funny, I guess I am an expert in "heck". There is a certain rightness to that given the last couple of weeks. Is there a way to see the comments it deems 'happy'?
[edit] I do wonder if the analysis of topics is affected by both the frequency something shows up on HN[1] and not repeating the keyword in a reply post.
1) less examples and more likely to miss a topic a person is expert on
