It's interesting that Amazon Web Service (AWS) makes them profitable, NOT the e-commerce business. Like many others, I buy plenty of stuff there, but without their cloud infrastructure, there would be no Amazon. In fact, they found a way to monetize their excess cloud capacity for their e-commerce platform which is probably the most expensive resource to build and keep idle is a stroke of genius in hindsight.

AWS is still no match for ORACLE in my opinion. I used AWS but dislike their billing methods. I prefer Google cloud when it comes to cloud hosting. That seems for me the cheaper option. Backdraw is one needs python or php to run Google s appengine, which works well ever since I started using it years back - africasiaeuro android apps
