For a prototype, sure, accessibility might not be top of the list. But everything about the way this is advertised makes it sound like a production-ready product ('it's a stable, rock-solid product') and your FAQs are activel

PaaS ran on AWS anyway, so it wouldn't be Amazon (I would guess? Unless they think they can charge more/upsell by departments procuring directly from them). Perhaps Google or MS were upset that by PaaS running atop AWS, AWS became
