I mean we have like 2 millions of line of python code written for lambda, S3, SQS, SNS, Kinesis, Redshift etc using boto3. So if AWS dies, it's not like data backup will save my startup. We're dead.
- ISL 7y agoThat sounds troublesome, no?
- outworlder 7y agoNot the parent, but they mentioned that they are a startup. AWS "dying" has killed zero startups so far. Time to market has killed many more, same for "not-invented-here" syndrome, and prematurely building for the future.
- gnulinux 7y agoMaybe? I'm not an influential enough engineer to change something that fundamental. Seniors say it's troubling but they're already married to AWS so it's very expensive to have a plan B. I don't think AWS dying is high on the list of why the startup can die. There are bigger dangers and they can only be solved by writing code that works.
- ISL 7y agoI see the bigger danger as not AWS falling over, but AWS deciding to charge more money once you're locked-in.
