AWS is built by developers for developers as well.

Most of the complaints here about AWS aren't actually about AWS not being "for developers", but about AWS requiring a certain learning curve.

I think that it's fairer to say that it's built by enterprise technical people for enterprise technical people. Things like the fine-grained control over networking and resource permissions are hallmarks of enterprise tech.

That's not to say that these things don't solve real problems, but they are the problems of big organizations. Smaller teams building pure-cloud products don't have the same problems, and may not even have people with Big Corp experience.

AWS is the Java of cloud platforms.

What software targetting developers is not "built by developers for developers". Every language, IDE, compiler, etc etc
