When I've done that, people get defensive - if you're doing cool shit, you'd say so. When you're doing something simple you say something that sounds grandiose and enterprisey - we're doing "Full stack adaptive delivery" because you're worried people will realise that "you upload media to us, and can use our system to convert it if you want, and then we serve it via Akamai" will make people think that about 2/3 of your offering is rather pointless, and you could probably get the last 1/3 direct from Akamai for cheaper.

I feel bad shitting on a startup, but reading their docs I'm struggling to see what value they add beyond abstracting S3 and Akamai.

I'm not digging into their offering, but "making things easier" can be a great value proposition. They just need to be upfront about it.

It looks like you can allow admin or users to easily upload files to an S3 bucket that you don't have to manage, and then serve them via Akamai without configuring it.

I guess there's a value add there if you don't have a person on board who can configure S3 and Akamai.
