Loved the video. Strong Parks & Recreation vibes.
Honest question, though : why would you use an external service for processing your application's coverage reports?
Edit Admin
Honest answer? It was like that when I joined the team. But it's some pre-built automation for annotating the PRs, and for whatever reason, it's wired up to post to slack with every new PR as well. "Visibility" I guess?

Storage with other service functionality (webhooks, bus messaging, etc.)? When some of these types of cloud services "just work", it's easy to assume they will always be available, until they are not. Looking at you Azure Service Bus.
