Here's the simple thing to know about AWS. They sell two great products (EC2 and S3) below market value so that you get locked in and their sales teams can upsell you on everything else. If you are a customer and are tempted to try out their alphabet soup of managed services because it all seems so convenient – don't.
SQS, SNS and Lambda are great as well

And nobody saw this coming with the surge to “cloud”. /s I don’t like AWS but god damn they are good marketers and had some good leadership that actually was ahead of the curve. Instead of min/maxing the quarterly earning calls. Convince a nepo C-level executive of your offerings, wave your massive AWS dick while presenting your deck, throw in a few credits, keep it “cheap” for a number of years. Once the competition…
Their stock is bumping along at $200. If they can keep people coming in and staying, then the stock can go brrrr for decades. But if they cant, eg the trickle of CTOs repatriating workloads to prem becomes a roar, it wont, and AWS will turn into IBM.
You clearly have strong opinions on how AWS operates, but their stock holders are happy bunnies. What's your prediction?

I'm biased but Stack Auth [0] is fully open-source, self-hostable, and we offer reasonably priced managed hosting, if that floats your boat. [0] https://github.com/stack-auth/stack
I think it shouldn't be too hard. I could even add Remix support for you if you wanted to do a contract (I am not able to do major open source work for free right now.)

S3? Laughs in egress costs.
AWS considered harmful.

Let me ask you, non-combatively: do you think they can keep this up? Their stock is bumping along at $200. If they can keep people coming in and staying, then the stock can go brrrr for decades. But if they cant, eg the trickle of CTOs repatriating workloads to prem becomes a roar, it wont, and AWS will turn into IBM.

The question is if we're living in the new 1970s or 2000s.

I think the author is confused. The previous "basic tier" is actually the "lite" tier. The prices are the same, but the number of "free" MAUs is reduced. The "advanced" and "essentials" tier include what seems to be new or expanded features like fully customizable logins and passwordless login options, so you have to pay more to access these features, but it looks like everything Cognito previously provided is in the…
