How many services do people on AWS usually use?

What else besides EC2 and S3?

Lambda. API Gateway. CloudFront. ELB. RDS. Redshift. Route 53. Athena. EMR. Kinesis. Dynamo. KMS.

And this is what we call Vendor Lock-In. </sarcasm>

Sometimes the lockin feels good. We pay a lot, but get a fuckton of value from AWS because of the well-designed ecosystem of infra products.
