- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoTrue, true (and heh, it was me who pushed for Oracle, oops) But ... the difference is that Oracle wasn't a platform in the sense that (e.g.) AWS is. Oracle as a corporation could vanish, but as long as you can keep running a compatible OS on compatible hardware, you can keep using Oracle. If AWS pulls the plug on you, either as an overall customer or ends a particular API/service, what do you do then?
