That’s a valid point. I don’t want to argue pedantry but I’ll say I worked some media companies that experience 5x normal volumes a few times a year during events before returning to “normal”, making AWS an obvious choice. I’ve also worked for a place so large in AWS we hit walls where we hit Amazon’s literal physical limit and had wait for them to go out and buy the hardware for us to provision. For Dropbox specifically I don’t see them being any form of special case, if it saves money and they obviously had operational experience so it makes sense
