Honestly, I feel pretty lost here - never done a saas before, but I'm convinced someone out there has figured out the playbook for turning cloud credits into serious money. The economics just make too much sense for nobody to have cracked it. Right now I'm leaning toward the AWS Marketplace AMI route - package something once, sell it indefinitely, and the credits just fund the development, not the ongoing business. But I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually done this at scale.
