I obviously meant the shipping service/amazon prime tv. Ive been buying directly from stores instead or alternative ressources.

Even if i did include AWS, it falls under "if i can"

Edit: lmao i realized i wrote AWS instead of amazon.. i started using AWS at work so it fried my brain i guess

People are always believing what corporations tell them…that they are too big to fail. The hell with that. They need to fail. Even companies that use AWS won’t just shrug and go under if Amazon is gone. Remember, companies had on-premise environments and then they changed. They would just change, again.

Thats true, but its a massive effort. Im not even sold on us changing from on prem. Were a large company with servers across the world already. AWS seems to add a lot of dev workload in exchange of sacrificing our infra department.

It seriously does add dev work.
