What are the advantages of using AWS over selling the API yourself? I can think of a few:
* AWS handles the billing software for you.
* AWS markets to enterprise companies who already have billing integrated and pay a lot of money. So less hassle collecting payment, and less resistance to charging lots.
* You get the AWS brand associated with your API, so people may be more likely to trust it.
What other reasons would somebody use this?
- raverbashing 10y agoNot having to deal with Paypal seems to be a plus
- mullen 10y agoThe main reason I can think of is, if you make an API that you think will handle 100/s but the product takes off and you end up with 1,000,000/s, you don't have to do anything.
