DO doesn’t offer accounting in services (who accessed what and when), no IAM which is a huge problem and their APIs and services are a bit low on reliability. Spaces has extremely low rate limit and their communication API time outs often. The k8s service works overall but has some annoying hiccups that only support tickets will fix, the CDN returns random 503 errors. All droplets are shared and resource contention is a thing.

That said, AWS support has its own issues, rarely solving the problem even when we pay for a TAM. Services like elasticache are hard to upgrade with zero downtime. Their solutions always involved spending inordinate amounts of money on open source clones with 1/10 of features and their good services (DynamoDB) will cost an arm and a leg.

My 2 cents.
