I work at a unicorn.

We're all in on AWS and don't care about lock-in.

The vendor lock-in argument isn't worth considering for most businesses.

I'm almost inclined to believe that the relationship is inverted from what many assume.

Amazon will bend over backwards to accomodate a company spending $500 mil a year on hosting (apparently what Snap spends). Sure it's only a fraction of its revenue ($386 bill for AWS), but half a billion is half a billion.
