@hynek@mastodon.social @chrisjrn@social.coop Eventually, sure. But I’d argue GitHub has a lot of time to work out what that threshold is, because for large corporate clients (which is where the money actually is), the cost of churning is high.
As for Amazon… there are certainly independent competitors, but finding them can be… challenging.

@freakboy3742@cloudisland.nz @hynek@mastodon.social @chrisjrn@social.coop I do not think that they have any time at all to work out what that threshold is, because (as with many such thresholds) there is a significant momentum associated with the movement *toward* the threshold. as the saying goes: gradually, and then suddenly. I believe we aren’t seeing the output of sensible decision-making with intentionality towards tradeoffs, but of decay. AWS’s alleged internal meeting about this problem points that way.
