If you're not building a PaaS while running stuff, you should either rent or build a platform because having a reusable platform enables scalability and manageability.
And if you have 750+ employees, you better have an (endpoint) client platform too to minify development, non-development, and support variables.
Another one: If you're trying to figure out zero-downtime deployments with `docker compose` ... you might be building a PaaS.
