My pet theory is that VCs also hold a lot of Amazon stock or perhaps more reasonably: are friendly with people who own a lot of Amazon stock.

- MacsHeadroom 3y agoIt's less insidious than that. Engineers like using AWS at startups because it benefits their future careers at larger companies. Startups also get $100k-$500k in free AWS credits. So there's no short term downside. Ultimately it's the CTO/Technical Founders fault that this goes on. Avoid cloud services like the plague unless you really actually need them. They will slow you down and eat your wallet in the long run.
