To be fair everything is a walled garden. Even open source solutions.
You still need to have an infrastructure to run your code and unless you want to build your own servers you still need to pay AWS/Azure/GCP/DigitalOcean/etc for renting that infra. So I really don't see what's the problem of using something like AWS exclusively. If anything, it makes your life easier.

- boogiewoogie 9y agoAgreeing here. If you can't run your code without AWS or whatever your vendor is, you got bigger problems. I'm talking about the core business code. Ops is important but replaceable.
- hinkley 9y agoYou really class DO with those other guys for lock-in? Or is that the part you are blind to?
- whoisjuan 8y agoI mean. Digital Ocean provides infrastructure too. Nothing is stopping you to run something like OpenFaas on DO.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoYeah, everything is a monopoly. Even a free market. You still need to buy stuff! Wut?
- nl 9y agoNote that this discussion is about AWS Lambda, not AWS generally. There are upsides and downsides to using AWS Lambda, but characterizing it as a walled garden is pretty reasonable. That's not the same as code you can run on any Linux server.
