Cloud vendors are not all lock-ins. Kubernetes is an open API. If you've got your project working in Amazon, you can migrate it to GKE, Digital Ocean or just bare metal.
Yes, cloud vendors love to lock you in, but right now it's possible to use clouds in a vendor-neutral way. Managed postgres is just a postgres. Managed Kubernetes is just a Kubernetes. S3 have plenty of alternative implementations.

- vbezhenar 4y agoS3 is just a protocol. Minio is one example of software which implements this protocol. You're programming against S3, using amazon SDK, but you change endpoint to another provider and it just works. I guess it wouldn't work for all the intricacies, but for commonly used stuff it works.
