&lt;p&gt;For a five-person team the balance question resolves to staffing: control you can&#39;t put on-call for is just liability with extra dashboards. That&#39;s what makes the middle option here tricky, AMB gives you AWS reliability but the least blockchain-native control, and the below-average satisfaction tracks with cloud generalists bolting on a category. Kaleido&#39;s case is that FireFly makes the control actually usable by a small team. A fourth option only becomes smarter if you discover your real need is one chain, at which point a plain node provider beats all three.&lt;/p&gt;
