Heck, Amazon themselves got locked-in to Oracle for the first 25 years of Amazon's existence. Vendor lock-in for your IT stack doesn't prevent you from becoming a successful business.

True, true (and heh, it was me who pushed for Oracle, oops)

But ... the difference is that Oracle wasn't a platform in the sense that (e.g.) AWS is. Oracle as a corporation could vanish, but as long as you can keep running a compatible OS on compatible hardware, you can keep using Oracle.

If AWS pulls the plug on you, either as an overall customer or ends a particular API/service, what do you do then?

You post a nasty note on Parler!

Oh wait.
