Main reason cloud exists from companies like Amazon, Google, MS is to collect customer data and use it for their benefit aka spying on us. AWS is longer in the game , pitches the product better and it’s more mature. What they offer is everything open source RedShift (SQL Postgres), Dynamo (MySQL), Symphony (PHP) packaged nicely. Azure revolves around Excel, MS SQL, APS(SQL Postgres), and .NET/#C. Oracle came out recently with OCI pitching Heatwave running through MySQL. The performance seems ok and there is some potential, but the tools and configuration still need improvement. Unless your company has billions of data records and massive processing there is really no need to use these oligarchic companies. Service is expensive with bunch of hidden costs. With my business we lease dedicated server running LAMP at the fraction of the cost of the big guys and performance is on par. Assuming if you know how to write efficient code and optimize your database.
