"Azure was eliminated since its a Linux-second cloud"

I have a feeling this person never really dove into Azure, and just wrote it off because it had Microsoft services built in; and of course various sysadmins still have a strong bias against Microsoft, especially if they are Open Source advocates. Seems like the entire article is mostly just comparing AWS to GCP instead of giving an actual overview of the cloud landscape, just brushes off every other provider (that's not AWS or GCP) without diving into an actually reason -why.-

Does this line strike anyone else as just not true based on their numbers? Quizlet is now the ~50th biggest website in the U.S.

Actually 150th in the US and 794th world-wide, according to Alexa: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/quizlet.com

Not to say 150th isn't impressive or likely a lot of traffic.. but if you're going to post a number and claim like that, it should be accurate.

Yes http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/quizlet.com

Don't trust Alexa results, they are mostly useless.

Quantcast is usually more accurate and Quizlet US Rank on Quantcast is 37.
