Very much so. The cost benefit analysis must also question how much it would cost to educate the teams on the new hosting tools. Management has clearly decided that it’s not worth the retraining and loss of productivity.

Will add if lyft is using things like dynamodb, there is no good onprem alternatives that they can easily migrate to without significant rewrites of core business logic

This is expensive and risky and also difficult to do in piece meal
