Feels like the article is just vibes and zero analysis other than “I really feel like this is true”.
Of course butter is nice, and a competitive advantage, but it’s far from obvious that it has the importance the article seems to imply. AWS isn’t butter. Roblox isn’t butter. Photoshop isn’t butter. And what’s Nurx? — I only know Epic, which certainly isn’t butter.

- rajnathani 2y agoAWS is butter for managing servers, going by how the author mentions Stripe being butter for handling payment processors. There can be multiple layers of butter, for example Render being butter over AWS, and maybe checkout.com over Stripe.
