I might be an outlier. I like to think I try for a deeper understanding of what I’m using. Like, fly uses firecracker vms afaik. Sometimes, especially for quick projects or testing ideas I just want to have it work without wrangling a bunch of AWS services. I’m typically evaluating is this the right tool or service and what is the price to convenience? For anything potentially long term, what’s the amount of lock in when or if I want to change providers?
