Not really. Maybe for consumer. But there are many kinds of b2b infrastructure businesses that I can build and launch myself where I wouldn't want to expose myself to risk of day-long outages (for either reputational or as competitive disadvantage of having no HA story), such as anything to do with payment gateways, API gateways, AI proxies or other AI infrastructure - anything where client services would experience critical outages if your service goes down... Lots of these businesses are started without VC investment or big money from day 1.
Luckily now with solutions like Yugabyte, we can achieve enterprise-grade HA without high cost or high maintenance complexity.
