Amazon, which was originally planned to be named "Ruthless", will see this as an existential threat and use the full force of their Big Tech allies to make sure they have no additional competition. I support their cloud services and know that Big Tech collusion on cloud infrastructure will be nearly impossible to avoid. There must be more decentralized solutions and I'm proud of Nigeria for innovating when Silicon Valley is more worried about consolidating.
