Big cloud providers (and esp. Amazon) can likely build a better service within ±6 months if they wanted to, so I don't think it makes much sense for Amazon/Google/Microsoft to buy Netlify.
As a side note, Github already does a more than competent Netlify competitor for static webpages.

- sergiotapia 5y agobullshit - AWS has existed for years and their UI is atrocious. Netlify's UI meanwhile is delightful to use and predictable. You can get something up and running in no time flat, even without Netlify experience.
