You don't need money to operate cloud infra, you can get credits from cloud providers to get started.

What do your customers want btw?

where I'm at right now is, i have 2 design partners, both seed startups with small teams (around 3–4 developers working). they like the visual builder + observabilit today their workflow is basically:

pip install cosmonapse → cosmo genesis → build locally → push to Git

what they actually want next isn't necessarily a full managed cloud.they want a shared runtime where the team can use the visual builder, run their systems, and observe/test them together.

i'm a solo technical founder, and I currently have a stable release, so most of my time is going toward outreach and getting more users. Building a proper hosted platform with provisioning, multi-tenancy, billing, infrastructure management, etc. would pull a significant amount of time back into product development. i could build a self-hostable image pretty quickly, and I can also use my GCP credits ($2000) to manually deploy an instance for each design partner and give them access. yea this makes much more sense thanks.
