Question in title. Please give me something on the why instead of just impulsively blurting out a company name.

Facebook - Infra teams handle infrastructure and scalability.
Apple - Not enough scale required (as compared to other FAANG)
Amazon - High scale. Lots of ambiguity. Freedom to explore since teams have a lot of autonomy.
Netflix - AWS handles their scaling concerns.
Google - Slow
Yes right decision, using aws or any type of managed services would cost serious $$ compared to how we operate now.. also some Uber systems operate at such huge scale bn tps we don’t trust aws to be able to support us 100% if they should go down our business would be severely impacted
