Exactly. Or drastically changes their pricing model (see: Contentful).
I understand the benefits of all of these individual services, but I also miss the days of the only service I had to worry about when I handed off a client site was hosting.
Now it's often the headless CMS hosting (i.e. Contentful, GraphCMS), actual hosting (Netlify), CDN, Image CDN, Search (i.e. Algolia). So many places for things to break. So many separate charges.
I also love headless CMS's but much prefer self-hosted ones. Directus has been a favorite to experiment with so far.
