Like: They are pushing the web and technology in general by inventing a ton of different services. This is really nice.
Dislike: Traffic price is just crazy high, it is simply impossible to start anything that is bandwidth-heavy, they might give you a good discount after you spend your first $100k but still there are many alternatives to the most popular AWS services like EC2: Digital Ocean, Vultr, OVH; S3: DO Spaces, Tebi.io, Wasabi, etc.

They need to reduce traffic price by a lot!
