Companies are their people. What else does AWS have? Patents? Worthless. Name brand? Ephemeral. Server farms? Cost centers.
We could all switch to Linode tomorrow and forget AWS existed the day after.
- oblio 2y agoAWS is orders of magnitude bigger than Linode in both depth and breadth and despite all the memes, there's a reason it makes so much money and that reason isn't purely "executive stupidity". Does Linode even offer something like SNS or SQS?
- phendrenad2 2y agoSerious answer: Most people have moved to K8s so most of AWS is a few lines of code away.
- oblio 2y agoHow do they store data? How do they handle queuing systems? Etc, etc.
- phendrenad2 2y agoYou can do all of that
- oblio 2y agoYou can do everything yourself but then your entire comment is beside the point.
- phendrenad2 2y agosigh I'm saying if AWS loses enough good people, their moat won't save them. It's a bit of an obvious statement, I do admit.
