Same here... The cloud/saas trend definitely makes their business model more difficult.  Also likely well past the time they could have spun thier own cloud/saas hosting.

I'm generally okay with it, I'm currently mostly using a single dedicated (hosted) server with proxmox and several VMs including the BBS for personal use.  I do have one small cloud server for (ipv4|ipv6).bbs.land just to support returning one's IP address for when I get a few of my domains setup for dyndns services (and moving bbs.io).

At work though, heavily entrenched with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB and a handful of other services... it works okay, but the codebase is way more complex than it probably needs to be, even if the domain space is very large and legally complex.
