If I'm an application developer or manager, at any >100 person company, it normally doesn't fall into my remit to go out and pick a new company to contract with to provide services. Typically, it gets harder and harder to do that. Even with LLM stuff, we're contracting that through our existing relationship with Microsoft. When evaluating infra options, it therefore is a huge barrier to entry for most developers if there's a 'good enough' option on one of the main cloud providers
- cageface 2y agoI've experienced this too. Any new service that requires more than a credit card number has to go through the legal department to review the contract and that means it goes to the bottom of the pile of similar requests and probably won't even get a look for months.
