Did AWS pull the plug?
I think this is roughly equivalent to Visa telling you that it won't do business with you. Which they recently did with Pornhub.
There doesn't seem to be many good solutions. The Refragmentation (http://paulgraham.com/re.html http://paulgraham.com/re.html) was the only pg essay I truly disliked, because I didn't want it to be true. Yet here we are.

- BlueTemplar 6y agoA few years ago the comparison wouldn't had stood : If both Visa and Mastercard happened to have banned you, them being pretty much the only two players in the market, you would be pretty much fucked. Meanwhile there were tons of ways to be hosted, including self-hosting. Nowadays I'm not so sure, both Visa/Mastercard duopoly doesn't seem to be as uncontested as before, and AWS kept growing ?
- detaro 6y agoI don't really have the impression there's that much less hosting options now than a few years ago?
- BlueTemplar 6y agoMaybe not, it's just that even more developers are going to use AWS without even considering other alternatives for hosting, just like using Github for their "open source" projects ?
