- franklaemmer 13y agoI think AWS convenience depends who you are. You can do great things with AWS, but it is indeed complex and you need to get into it first – maybe not something for the usual web dev guy. That's why there are "middleware" services like ours can be valuable: The power of AWS without the hassle at your fingertips.
- gtaylor 13y agoOne of the reasons we like it is that it IS a LOT easier than rolling our own at our current low-manpower state. It is MORE convenient for us. We end up with a bunch of infrastructure that for the most part runs, updates itself, scales itself, and is pretty secure/safe by default. That's nice, and worth paying a little more for. It doesn't need to be fast for us, because we have designed accordingly. It is "fast enough".
