Great job addressing those 404s.

Again, a weird thing for an AWS employee to say about an opinion from an AWS customer and an AWS platinum partner, and then accuse them of expressing those opinions due to monetary compensation.

  I'll disengage... this argument doesn't really serve our customers well. I'll fully admit that the AWS docs are a pain... but to claim that the google docs are better is... I lack an appropriate adjective.

    holy shit you two are embarrassing as hell. absolutely cringeworthy. I'd half consider migrating to Azure since it seems they're the only adult in the room... too bad it's such a terrible service;)

      You're totally right. I apologize.

      You're right, I crossed the line and sincerely apologize. I post here on my own time, and represent my views only. I recently noticed that AWS employees throw (sometimes not so) subtle shade at their competitors on HN without disclosing their allegiances. That's all fine, but I saw the same undertones directed at opinions made by a very good customer, which upset me. Throughout the thread I've attempted to engage in discussion, gather feedback, and share some info. I was set off a little :/

  shame on you both. you are biased to google, but I actually preferred the AWS documentation. I still will migrate sooner or later to GCP, because of the superior pricing model. However missing postgres is still bad for us and we don't want to "go trough a partner". Cloud is already not so cheap, especially when we only need 3 boxes and a database. The problem is there aren't many alternatives that lets you have a managed database and 3 boxes in your own small network. If you want to do it yourself you either need a VPN or you would pay the same price as a Cloud if you want to interconnect hosted servers on non Cloud providers.

    merb, I apologize for getting a little heated. I saw an AWS employee attack a customer opinion (without disclosing their employer), and I wanted to set things right. On the feedback, I hear you. Please reach out to me offline for a further discussion (if you want).
