These are genuine questions, not critique on your statement.
It feels like a huge dependency with a bunch of money involved.
I cannot _not_ see it clumping to a sentiment comparable to "you either AWS' or have no idea what cloud/network/cluster means".
We use these things like it’s actually "something". It’s not. We don’t build things with it. We configure other people’s software.
It’s born to be promoted as the next big enterprise stuff. You either know how to configure it or are not enterprise-worthy.
And that farts. Being dependent on someone else’s stuff has never turned out good.
Well, I mean. You can also not give a duck and squeeze out all the money. Work a job, abandon it and jump on the next train.
Feels useless, doesn’t it?
