There's some of that, but even rolling your own on oss software, your infra (compute, storage, network) can start to balloon really rapidly.

Something that was a tiny line item suddenly becomes... bad.

As someone who worked on that acquisition, that rumor is total horseshit.

as part of engineering at sfdc, I promise you we think very deeply about backups, DR and edge cases, as well as backwards compatibility, and not breaking your code/apis.

I'd like to think we have a good track record. not perfect, of course, but don't believe everything the sales dudes say. ;o)
