I'm working with abdelhai on DETA. We want to make it super easy to create usable and sharable cloud scripts and data out of a toolbox of simple services.
Thanks for your question. Valid concerns.
Our main goal is to save developer's time. For the specific use cases we support (internal tools, scripts, etc), we feel like the convenience and productivity gain are worth the trade-off.
Regarding leaving the platform – DETA is built on top of AWS and you could choose to run it inside your own account with little to no impact to the benefits.
