- foxyv 4y agoWhen Netflix first started, it was an engineering challenge on the order of the Google search engine. High Availability was the newest thing and Big Data was just getting started. Now though, it is so easy you can use similar technology to host your cooking blog in AWS for $0.10/month. It's not terribly surprising that Disney+ was able to execute, probably for a bare fraction of what Netflix had to put in technically speaking.
