A cloud-infrastructure commentator mocks a startup that was essentially an AWS wrapper: it went out of business just one month after raising its seed round. The argument: why risk a newbie cloud provider when developers can use the more dev-friendly and significantly more secure Vercel and Cloudflare? The quoted post calls it a "joke of the century," fueling debate over the viability of wrapper-style infrastructure startups.
