Random somewhat on-topic question. How does one measure ones technical capability to keep up services that are more available and dependent than third party solutions? I mean obviously starting out, almost everybody can benefit from doing a lot of stuff not in-house, but at some point you'd be able to do better yourselves. But then maybe for certain services from certain providers, raw technical capability never catches up?

How do you know when that point is? Is there even data out there on how frequently big providers go down? (Not just Github, but stuff like aws, etc)
