They use aws as infrastructure but aren't inseparably welded to it. They could presumably switch to hosting elsewhere without changing their product itself.

- cnaut 13y agoYou can see them as abstractions of AWS in some ways. An average consumer wouldn't go through the trouble of dealing with AWS to backup their files and even for developers heroku provides a nice level of abstraction
