I'm working at a tiny non-IT company. Outsourcing this work and the security of not having my non IT trained coworkers being able to touch the server is great (but a VM would do the same ofcourse, while costing money). Most of all, we currently don't even need paid tiers of supabase since our software is so small.

Given, I feel if you run supabase at a big company you are either lazy and probably have too much budget to spend on useless costs.
