My "citation" is my own experience managing infrastructure for several AWS-backed startups. I think public cloud services have a role and make sense in certain cases (particularly for very early stage companies), but I'm realistic about their performance characteristics and tradeoffs. The biggest danger is in overuse of proprietary AWS services, which makes it much more difficult to migrate off when the business outgrows the public cloud.
