How does the AWS credit work? This, for me, is the biggest selling point of the whole shabang.

They probably use the AWS Activate program (which my main startup is part of). It basically gives you a set amount of "credit" with AWS. We got ours almost a year ago and it just ran out this month. It allowed us to run key workloads on AWS for a year at zero out of pocket cost.

Of course Amazon does this, in part, because once you have built a functional business on their platform(s) you are more likely to stay there and to continue paying them long-term.

Part of AWS Activate. You can get it through various VC's, accelerators, programs like Atlas, or applying directly.

Usually somewhere between $5-25k of credits that will be applied to your bills automatically until they run out.

Azure and GCP both also have similar programs (and both also have very high end packages that are $100k+).
