It's incredible that with the backbone of internet being hosted by a few companies (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc) in the cloud, as soon as they run into issues, or coordinated attacks... the entire internet grinds to a halt.

appreciate the input! do you think there's ever an inflection point for a company of your scale where it makes sense or is the build vs. buy question and most just choose to focus on what you/they're good at?

I don’t think much about this. For every $1 Amazon spent on server hardware that Fortnite has utilized, players have spent maybe $100 buying the devices they play Fortnite on. By TFLOP it’s more like 1000:1. The big iron isn’t in the cloud, it’s in our homes and pockets.
