It's fucking ironic how AWS selling point was how it was more cost-effective than managing your own infra.

Yet another classic SV-style rugpull.

There’s a very subtle difference between “managing” and “operating”. There’s also a rather large jump from paying AWS to manage and hiring a complete operations team.

But you are right, running on AWS isn’t cheaper. It can be, but you have to design your software to take advantage of the platform.
