Its nice but what incentive does cloudrail have to provide perpetual gratis access to someone elses API? Unlike an app that can still work when the original developer goes broke, an API requires that always on access.

Does my whole build break because cloudrail can't handle the traffic anymore? At least with AWS or GCS or Azure, etc, one has a business relationship with the API provider and so can keep the lights on.

CloudRail doesn't touch the data. Everything flows P2P between the app and the provider. It's like if you integrate the native AWS SDK. So even if CloudRail goes completely down, your integrations will keep running.
