It’s super concerning that the actual implementation detail is so hidden with all these services. You know when you should use glacier with route 53 and lambda or whatever, but do you really know why and how they work?
Maybe most people don’t need to know. But the truth is that a lot of these managed cloud services are wrappers/reimplementations around OSS tech or can be a massive overhead for your actual problem.
A great exercise to figure this out is to implement some of the cloud products as a toy project, targeted at your use case. You’ll quickly learn whats fluff and where the meat is.
