I defer to your expertise, esp when it comes to actually using these different services at scale, but as someone who used to deploy only to Heroku and wanted to learn real cloud deployment, AWS was pretty unapproachable. I almost laughed out loud at how unnecessarily arcane and difficult they made things when all I wanted to do was set up a simple Python app on EC2.

Google Cloud felt easier and intuitive to get started with, so that's what I use now.



too much maybe? yelling at clouds just feels so good sometimes. apologies. i do actually wish we could have nice things.

this is how aws became easy and fun for me[1]. a similar interface could exist for any provider.

heroku is right about picking the good parts and exposing only that as an interface.

Thats sounds sweet. I suppose its just for when you really love lambdas (I don't)?


consider lambdas for managing ec2 spot instances, and other low volume tasks.


Cool, I'll check it out, thanks
