You can't rely on the permanent existence of ANY external service. At any time they might decide to change their business model. That could be anything from an unacceptable change in their terms of service, to complete removal of a service. Companies get bought out, change their strategies, and go out of business, all the time. Personally, I find the thought of cloud-based anything even more problematic than anything. The idea that you can just scoot programs across some computing boundary like pushing a chair across the room doesn't seem a trustworthy concept. A few years ago, my webhost tried cost-cutting by moving their service onto a cloud, and it failed dismally. With a cloud, you have a thing, inside a thing, inside a thing (reminds me of early programming where some people turned their software into far too many subroutines), and it can get bogged down with other client's heavy use of the system. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
