Yeah, they had an impossible to use number of credits (YC) until they expired, so every problem became a AWS solution.

As an example, they needed a lot of proxy servers. Instead of just using a proxy service, there was a fleet of ec2 instances.

If all you have is AWS credits suddenly every problem looks like EC2.
