yes and no, the web app I'm working on at sqwok.im uses a proxy to point to a backend api that's built to be portable should the need ever arise (which I doubt would until it's in the status of "good problems to have"). it's true I would need to port the other bits outside the api that use native aws services. how often do people change their infrastructure once things are working and they move onto building out a platform? I definitely have gone back and forth on the lock-in thing, but I feel like we're always locked into _something_ at the end of the day and it's more important to get something that works and prove it out on the business end.
