100% agree. I'm just weary of all these "mini optimizations" that all these cloud providers are about to start doing differently.

- scarface74 8y agoThey don’t have a choice. Their infrastructure is different. For instance, Aurora integrates with IAM for authentication and has extensions to load and save to S3. Aurora writes to six different disks across three availability zones and read replicas are synchronous because they read from one of the disks that Aurora is already writing to for high availability. You can’t get those types of features in a vendor neutral way.
- anarazel 8y agoThe IAM stuff requires using a few hooks, at most adding minor modifications that could be upstreamed. Storage is obviously harder, but I and others are working on making that pluggable in core. Amazon's core contribution, from a few smaller things like commandline tools: 0. Sorry, not buying it.

I could make a Twitter clone in a week by hiring some people from UpWork" Did I mention point in time recovery or the architecture behind Serverless Aurora?
- anarazel 8y agoYea, right... I don't know anything about how hard this stuff is, I'm just a postgres developer & committer, currently working on making postgres' storage pluggable.
- CWuestefeld 8y agoWhile not offering commits, I was under the impression that Amazon had contributed some funding. But I just went off searching for that, and can't find any evidence of this either. Anybody know anything about them contributing money rather than code?
- anarazel 8y agoThey've provided AWS credits, yes.
