With most managed services, you don’t truly own your infrastructure. You’re renting access to the provider’s managed Kubernetes, databases, and other services. The moment you stop paying, everything disappears. And if you decide to leave, you’ll likely have to pay for data transfer, migration services, or other hidden fees.
Neterial changes this. Your infrastructure runs on standard open-source software, directly on your cloud provider’s low-level services (compute, networking, etc.). That means you stay in control – no reliance on proprietary modifications from hyperscalers. If you decide to move, you can take your setup with you, without rebuilding everything from scratch.
