But then how is Amazon supposed to lock you into their proprietary solution to make it harder for you to migrate from their services?

- rabino 13y agoWhat are you talking about? RDS now supports MySQL. What would the difference be in terms of lock-in?
- jmathai 13y agoI don't think they knew what RDS is/was. We heavily rely on AWS but can move off with little work. You have to decide from the start if you don't care about possibly migrating off AWS or not. We chose to keep that ability to migrate off. In hindsight it was a little more thought up front but little to no additional overhead now. AWS provides a ton of open source compliant services. When you decide to use a proprietary one just build in the appropriate abstractions.
