AWS / GCP / Azure
also cloud computing · AWS · GCP · Azure
The big cloud platforms (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) that rent powerful servers and services to run large applications.
Analogy
Like renting a huge building with utilities included instead of constructing your own.
Why it matters
Most apps start on Vercel + Supabase, then graduate to these clouds at scale, so it helps to know where you'd grow.
In practice
A high-traffic app moves its backend to AWS for more control and scale.
