GitLab's separate projects can share the same stopping point

A build allowance belongs to a top-level namespace, not to each team's sense of ownership. GitLab.com's rules for shared consumption and non-transferable purchased minutes make the group boundary a commercial decision as well as an organisational one.

Fastly unbundles the domain. Buyers still have to arrange its handover

A public address can outlive several application teams. Fastly's versionless domains make that separation easier to manage, but the commercial benefit depends on who retains the proof and permissions to put a new operator behind the old name.
