I’m not going to pretend AWS is cost effective for every type of problem. But the comments here are overly simplistic.
Also, and more generally, I find it disappointing that when someone has made an open source tool to help the community, most of the comments are cheap attacks at the cost of running AWS. Poor etiquette guys.
