Congratulations! Sounds like an awesome job.

This is an approach I've seen in the industry.

Large for-profit corporations dedicating resources to open source solutions.

But these corporations are all about... the profit, of course.

So, it's no secret that their goal is to market and promote their products on the back of these open source solutions. And this is perfectly fine, as long as they keep those open-source solutions free of bias.

Because I don't want to ever read in the docs of an open source project something like "But if you want this in the cloud, it's best to use a product like Netlify.".
