One of the major trends transforming the technology world is the meteoric growth of the large cloud platforms. Only a decade ago Amazon launched AWS to provide online services for other web sites or client-side application, and by doing so changed the way tech services would be served and consumed forever. Several other cloud platforms quickly rose either to satisfy vast internal demand (Facebook), to directly compete with AWS (Microsoft Azure), or to do both (Google Cloud Platform).
