What Makes .NET Core So Special?

Why should I try AWS and pay twice the price I pay in any traditional hosting provider? Don't drink the HN koolaid and thing that trying the latest and greatest will give you any real benefit. The good thing about .NET or Java or any of these seemingly uncool technologies is that they're tried and tested and work just fine.

The real problem with developing in .NET is Windows. Everything else is stellar. Hopefully at some point in the not so distant future Visual Studio will run on Linux and then we will all move to greener pastures.

1st million calls on lambda are free... then ~$1.80/million calls/month after that. No ops once you deploy... like none. Dotnet runs on it fine after being written on a Mac, with code completion and linq hints etc. No visual studio in site. I didn’t even install mono.

Your uncool technologies might be cooler than you think. ;)

Are you forgetting the API gateway charges? API gateway add’s $3.50 per million requests to the price.

You can already run VS Code on Linux. Or use emacs or vim and command line tools.

JetBrains have brought out a x-plat C# IDE also, called Rider. It's very nice.
