- izzydata 7y agoSaid the one guy likely experiencing survivorship bias. This article is a bit silly.
- derefr 7y agoThis article is not about Amazon.com sellers or competitors; it’s about about software vendors that offer hosting solutions for their software, and then find AWS also offering hosting solutions for their software (or something compatible.) If, as you suggest, AWS is Amazon’s profit-center and Amazon.com is their loss-leader, that’s another point in the OP’s favour arguing that AWS isn’t killing your AWS-competitor business. (Because AWS would have to make money, if it were to be used to prop up Amazon.com; so they would not be unfairly dumping AWS prices to outcompete your AWS-adjacent business.)
