What’s astonishing and few other than those who lived it as startups (I launched my second startup in this era) realize is how profound of an impact that rise of Amazon AWS (S3 & EC2) had on the startup market. The “A Round” of my startup in 1999 was $16.5 million and my A Round in 2005 was only $500,000 (and that’s all I ever raised).

You can run your databases on top of Oracle’s cloud service while keeping the computing parts of your application in AWS EC2. Multi-cloud is now a popular concept and there are tools to help you configure different cloud environments for specific purposes. The use of a proxy server is another sign of a well-managed business.

The programming paradigms to take advantage of the cloud are one of the biggest challenges we have. Google is essentially platform as a service.

Why would we commit hundreds of thousands to EMC before we knew whether we had a big business? Amazon will surely keep moving up the stack.
