I don't expect the majority of tech companies to want to run their own physical data centers. I do expect them to shift to more bare-metal offerings.
If I'm a mid to large size company built on DynamoDB, I'd be questioning if it's really worth the risk given this 12+ hour outage.
I'd rather build upon open source tooling on bare metal instances and control my own destiny, than hope that Amazon doesn't break things as they scale to serve a database to host the entire internet.
For big companies, it's probably a cost savings too.

- einsteinx2 1y agoI think that prediction severely underestimates the amount of cargo culting present at basically every company when it comes to decisions like this. Using AWS is like the modern “no one ever got fired for buying IBM”.
- guerrilla 1y agoWell, let's hope a few people just got fired for using AWS. ;)
