Any recommendations? Half of the codebase is based on Stripe’s features like Connect. It would be hard for us to migrate to another provider in such a short notice. And the brand tarnishing hasn’t been the most positive thing to get our clients back.

Thank you for the reply tho.

You’ve fallen for a 30 year old playbook. It’s described in detail in this book under vendor lock in. Check out the bios of the people who wrote it and where they work now.

I know it may sound not helpful but achieving vendor independence is a valid reason for adopting at least some software design patterns so you can swap the implementations without changing the interface. It’s becoming increasingly more important as the cloud service providers are getting more aggressive just because they can get away with it.
