I've been in a similar situation, with a laravel product quoted for over a million and I quoted 40K and did it all.

That did not go down well, even though it was a great product, styled etc. had all the bells and whistles.

Enterprise customers are more likely to use a product that they paid $1M over the same product that they "only" paid $40K.

If it was a one-time contract and you get paid for it, what they do next is their problem, not yours.

It was a case of pay $1M and take no responsibility vs. set a budget of 40K and own it internally.

When salesforce leaks your customer's information, whoopsie! not our fault! it's salesforce!

And yet they're far more likely to have the leak. BASICALLY.

In fairness to Salesforce, it was the garbage third party apps in their ecosystem which got compromised and did the leaking, not Salesforce themselves.

you got paid the $40k though?

Nope.
