- manquer 4y agoI don’t think this post is addressed for your usecase. He is not saying enterprises with ability or need to have large ops teams don’t need AWS. He is saying the average indie developer does not need it. The post closes with a 100$ example, for very early stage startups or small (most are) apps likely don’t need AWS is the premise .
- ecshafer 4y agoAWS doesn't really remove an ops team, it should change what ops are doing. Maybe on a very small scale it replaces the ops team that would otherwise run hardware and do updates. But once you scale up a good SRE/Devops/Production engineering team that can run the infra for the company on top of your cloud of choice is a game changer, since networking, database, system issues still show up.
- edmcnulty101 4y agoSo instead of an ops bill now there's a cloud bill plus an ops bill! :P
- devmor 4y agoIt absolutely replaces an ops team for me. Well, to be fair I end up doing a small amount of ops by monitoring things but for the most part, everything I used to have to manage for scaling and deployment is handled automatically by some config files in a .aws folder in my repos now.

- LAC-Tech 4y agoIn my experience it just means companies are making developers do ops.
