I work for a big org. We’re about to deploy a small grafana setup for monitoring some test environments. Double digit spend per month, maximum. It’s pretty close to impossible to get IT, infosec, purchasing and finance to agree to this in a period of time that I’ll still be employed (and I’m not planning on leaving). But, on the AWS marketplace I can click a button, a line item is added to our bill, and infosec are happy because it’s got the AWS checkmark beside it. Doesn’t matter what it costs, as long it goes through the catalog. That’s why big companies use AWS. At my last job, I worked for a vc backed startup. I reached out to our fund, and they put us in touch with AWS, who gave us $100k in credits after a courtesy phone call. That’s why startups use AWS
