> You're right AWS does have you covered. But that doesn't mean thats the only way of doing it. Load balancing is insanely easy to do yourself, databases even easier. Caching, ditto
I think you don't understand the scenario you are commenting on. I'll explain why.
It's irrelevant if you believe that you are able to imagine another way to do something, and that you believe it's "insanely easy" to do those yourself. What matters is that others can do that assessment themselves, and what you are failing to understand is that when they do so, their conclusion is that the easiest way by far to deploy and maintain those services is AWS.
And it isn't even close.
You mention load balancing and caching. The likes of AWS allows you to setup a global deployment of those services with a couple of clicks. In AWS it's a basic configuration change. And if you don't want it, you just tear down everything with a couple of clicks as well.
Why do you think a third of all the internet runs on AWS? Do you think every single cloud engineer in the world is unable to exercise any form of critical thinking? Do you think there's a conspiracy out there to force AWS to rule the world?
