Sure but ultimately they're still just selling something that is already free and wrapping AWS. These business models aren't sustainable unless you trash your free product, which also isn't sustainable. Presumably they have a good deal with their cloud vendor, AWS I think, but I think its safe to assume they lose A LOT on their free products.
