Didn’t AWS just move some of their infrastructure off of oracle because it basically took them a decade to figure out how?

- dv_dt 6y agoYup, the interesting data point would be what did Amazon pay for their oracle usage vs smaller companies? I would guess that as long as Oracle gave them a reasonable price Amazon would be happy to stay on - except for a question of long term independence and vertical integration. Amazon is probably in a unique position in that providing data and database services is a core competency, and so vertical integration off of Oracle makes a lot of sense even separate from the cost leverage question.
- scarface74 6y agoYes and AWS also built multiple database types to meet their needs. Is your company going to do the same?
- heyoni 6y agoWhat? No, but that's my point. Even a company like Amazon was locked-in to a vendor. I'm not saying people should build their own databases but that this is a move in the right direction.
