I haven't found AWS to be predatory. Or Azure for that matter.

GCE also isn't so much predatory as incompetent and apathetic. If a Google failure wipes out your startup, you're a statistic and it's okay.



Part of the beauty of it is that you don't realize it's happening. You just use more, and more, and more of their services...


No, I don't, and I advise other people not to. The baseline dozen-or-so services are awesome (EC2, RDS, S3, etc.).

The massive number of newer services are propriety, often buggy, and poorly documented.

I don't use any AWS services introduced past 2015 or so.


Well I am actually in the same camp as you then :)
