Nice, now do AWS. That thing's impossible to escape. Well, with effort you could migrate to another American cloud, like Google or Azure (Microsoft).

Hopefully Hetzner will get there one day, but they're really far from being a competition to the 3.

Going away from AWS ranges anywhere from trivial to literally impossible. If you for example only use S3 there are drop in replacements so you basically only have to change one config file once.

But they offer stuff that has no replacements that I just learned of recently. For example did you know IMDb has an API? Well itโ€™s only usable via AWS. I mean yeah it makes sense from a business perspective and itโ€™s a real niche edge case, but if you, like me, wanna access IMDb programmatically, welpโ€ฆ. time to parse HTML like a caveman.
