- jonknee 10y agoIt is, but AWS is all about making money on rounding errors. How long before Amazon starts letting to place and receive calls?
- biot 10y agoYou said "considering that Twilio hosts with AWS" as if that's the competitive disadvantage they face vs. Amazon. However, their cost structure would be the same if they hosted on Azure, Google Cloud, Rackspace, or anywhere else. So yes, Amazon may compete on price but I'm not seeing how Twilio being on AWS factors into it given that they need to incur server hosting costs somewhere.
