- munk-a 7y agoAWS definitely has competitors you can switch to pretty easily, I think Amazon's retail side is the harder portion to jettison.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThe retail side is very easy to jettison. Most of the goods can be found at target, Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, or Newegg. At least it was for me.
- xfitm3 7y agoDo you use AWS? It's extremely difficult to move away if you use services like RDS, ElasticSearch, ElastiCache, Lambda, KMS, parameter store, etc. It will cost a couple years of ops time to reliably migrate to a competitor like GCP + change work patterns. Not to mention that Google products like Functions are still alpha and unreliable.
