Let me know when someone spots a "Rival Castle" to GCP, AWS, Azure, Alibaba, Oracle. These are Hamlets.
- mejutoco 9mo agoHertzner?
- nickdothutton 9mo agoI'm a happy customer of Hetzner, but AWS revenues are 440x theirs. Not much of a castle.
- direwolf20 9mo agoWhy do you want to be a customer of a company with extreme revenue? That only means you'll pay too much money.
- missedthecue 9mo agoCustomers can benefit from scale too
- abc123abc123 9mo agoHmm, how starnge that AWS then seems to be the most expensive option around. I've saved loads of money by using Hetzner instead. I can also easily move to other providers should I want thanks to open standards and open source.
- direwolf20 9mo agoThey can't benefit from high prices
- nickdothutton 9mo agoGreater chance of survival, greater chance of being a winner in any consolidation in the industry, generally revenue translates to higher share price which means ability to acquire useful and interesting companies, likely lower cost of capital for borrowing for build-outs. Attracts greater talent with better packages. Now as teeny tiny (personal) customer of these guys... I'm not really going to care about most of this stuff. But in my $70B company market cap day-job... I do.
