>There is a monopoly/duopoly on collocation centers? I was talking about Apple and Google removing the app from their app stores. I think they are back now, but it looks like it killed much of its steam. >According to the former CEO of AWS, only 5% of all IT spend is on any cloud provider. The other 95% self host This number sounds a bit weird. I assume you are saying cloud costs are only 5% of IT spending which means it includes salaries. If that is the case you can't assume any level of self hosting. Can you provide the source on this or clarify what you are saying?

Andy Jassy is my skip*10 manager the last time I checked. But there are always re-orgs. https://accelerationeconomy.com/cloud/amazon-shocker-ceo-jassy-says-cloud-less-than-5-of-all-it-spending/ https://accelerationeconomy.com/cloud/amazon-shocker-ceo-jas... > With a $51B revenue run rate that’s growing 28% YoY (these were the Q4 2020 numbers we last publicly shared), it’s easy to forget that AWS is still in the very early stages of what’s possible. Less than 5% of the global IT spend is in the cloud at this point Why does Parlor need to be an app at all? They can just be a website.

That has nothing to do with the percentage of cloud vs self hosting. It could be 5% of it spending but account for 100% of hosting. >Why does Parlor need to be an app at all? They can just be a website Because it makes it easier for people to interact with and can encourage engagement. There is a reason why every social media site has an app.

    I work at AWS in Professional Services where we are pushed to go after the other 95%. I watch the ReInvent videos. He is very much talking about growing by going after the other 95%. I know first hand how many large enterprises and state and local government institutions are self hosted. In context, he is obviously talking about AWS’s growth potential by going after a large untapped market. As far as “needing an app”. Do you really think the same people who will show up by the thousands to watch Trump and go through the trouble of invading the Capital won’t go out of their way to go to a website and post their opinions?

      >I work at AWS in Professional Services where we are pushed to go after the other 95%. It wasn't stated in the article that 95% of hosting is self hosted. I would appreciate some article or something that actually makes that claim. >I watch the ReInvent videos. He is very much talking about growing by going after the other 95%. I haven't watch those videos, but if it just reiterates the article then it won't prove your point. 5% of costs has nothing to do with market share. Continuing to say 5% is useless when it almost certainly doesn't mean what you are claiming. >I know first hand how many large enterprises and state and local government institutions are self hosted Has nothing to do with the percentage of hosting. >As far as “needing an app”. Do you really think the same people who will show up by the thousands to watch Trump and go through the trouble of invading the Capital won’t go out of their way to go to a website and post their opinions? A growing number of people don't even have a computer. They only have a phone. It is difficult to deal with many sites on phones. Not sure how good Parler is, but they are frequently a subpar experience like notifications not even working most of the time. I'd you want engagement you need an app. Its as simple as that. That is why every social media has its own app instead of directing people to their websites.

        Twitter and Facebook both have websites that are both easy to deal with on the phone. Global IT spend is 4.5T. https://www.serverfarmllc.com/blog/mind-blowing-worldwide-it-spend-and-cloud-growth-figures-are-a-key-driver-for-commercial-data-centers/ https://www.serverfarmllc.com/blog/mind-blowing-worldwide-it... AWS percentage of that spend is infinitesimal.

        > Twitter and Facebook both have websites that are both easy to deal with on the phone. I am not saying that you need to have an app to succeed, only that succeeding without one will be difficult and lead to a higher likelihood of failing. If apps are a waste and don't provide any use to people then why do these companies waste their time and money making an app? Why do users often times use the apps? >Global IT spend is 4.5T. > AWS percentage of that spend is infinitesimal. Literally has nothing to do with anything. I don't think you understand what I am saying despite repeating myself multiple times. The percentage of spending going to X doesn't let you figure out the market share of X. Even if it could, which it can't, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I am not even talking about data centers. You brought it up and couldn't even provide the accurate figure for market share. Spending on IT has nothing to do with market share.
