Hosting is a commodity. Runtimes are too. In this case, the strategy is to make a better runtime, attract developers, and eventually give them a super easy way to run their project in the cloud. Eg: bun deploy, which is a reserved no op command. I really like Buns DX.
Yep. This strategy can work, and it has also backfired before, like with Docker trying to monetize something they gave away for free.
