Cloudflare (a service that TD uses) is trying to hold the fort. Their CEOs won't stand listening to the EXTREME LEFT

Cloudflare is a layer, really just a large scale reverse proxy. DNS lookups, that's metered with AWS potentially but not with dedicated, etc.
AWS for internal architecture can be absolutely appalling. Some of the metering can make it anywhere from 10X to 1000X more expensive.
For certain services they can be more cost effective based on pooling like shared hosting always has been. People make the wrong assumption though that cloud is always more cost effective.
On top of that they have sinks/drains. The same as the restaurants charging twice as much to ten times more for drinks. The same as the pub charging twice as much to ten times more than the super market for drinks.
There are people out their throwing away millions to AWS just because of a bad choice of hosting or sinking millions into cloud because they wrote come algorithm horrendously inefficiently but instead of fixing it scaling it over loads of machines.
AWS can make sense if you have extremely bursty requirements but definitely yeah on expensive. I worked for a company that made a big push from VMWare on their own iron to AWS and I hear it's all been moved back since I left.
There is some very aggressive shilling in the tech scene for businesses to give up their self sufficiency and be at the mercy of Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure. I can only imagine two motives for this: profit, and the ability to absolutely destroy the company if they ever enter the crosshairs of the communist mob.
Mostly profit I think. There has been a move from some companies to move to rental models (Microsoft has also strongly been moving that way but also companies like Adobe). If they sell you something, they have to work to sell you something again next month. If you're renting that something, they get your money no matter what.
"You will own nothing and be happy".
Totally true. I'd imagine Parler wouldn't use a service like elastic beanstalk though. It's going to be a hard slog ahead to transfer it to a new provider but it's doable as Gab.com has shown. Much easier if you can go down to do it rather than doing it live.
Lol, hard to imagine any serious production setup using elastic beanstalk. It's nice for a single dev setup though.
You'd be surprised. Some companies pay way more on compute than they have to.
Yeah, I do NOT get people suggesting AWS as CHEAP.
It's CHEAP if you have the Free Tier and don't use it... well, not really even then. I pay a few bucks a month per server, and that's JUST TO HOLD MY DATA, no traffic to speak of. While I can get a dedicated server, for a couple bucks more a month, with unlimited traffic.
