Yes, absolutely. For context, our storage & network costs have
increased >10x in the past 12 months (~$320 Jan 2019), >3x in the past
6 months (~$1350 July 2019), and ~2x in the past 3 months (~$2000 Oct

I do now (personally) think that it's crossed the point at which it
would be worthwhile paying an admin to solve the problems that cloud
services currently solve for us - which wasn't true before. Such an
admin could also deal with things like our SMTP delivery failure rate,
which in the past year has spiked over 50% (see previous email),
demand for new services such as Discourse which will enable user
support without either a) users having to subscribe to a mailing list,
or b) bug trackers being cluttered up with user requests and other
non-bugs, etc.
Cheers,
Daniel
