The claim where Muhammad ﷺ copied from the previous books is simply not possible. An unlettered man narrating and correcting the histories/traditions of the Jews and Christians where they were few and far between in Arabia. It was pagan through and throught. Recounting their history would require a library to be available and be a polyglot in Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek (there were no Arabic Bible translation until the 10th Century).
If the motivation is to gain followers from the prior Abrahamic religions, the easiest thing to do would be to appease their view points and reaffirm what they believed, not to correct them. Not to mention the sheer volume of recounting the children of Israel and history of Jesus in the Qur'an, which does not make sense if you are copying as you would want a few lines here and there to avoid saying something wrong.

Compute, storage, database, networking. You would be better off using Digital Ocean, Linode Vultr etc. so much cheaper than AWS, lots of bandwidth included rather than the extortionate $0.08 GB egress.
Compute is the same story. 2 VCPU, 4GB VPS is ~$24 using a VPS. The equivalent instances (after navigating the obscured pricing and naming scheme), is the c6g.large is double the price at $50.
This is the happy middle ground between bare metal and AWS.
[Warning super hot take]
If you are creating a backend service, the language of choice is clearly Go. Get productive within a week, straightforward to read, compiles to a single binary (easy deployment), suited for serverless functions, low memory usage , excellent ecosystem, static typing, composition over inheritance, sane dependency management, Goroutines instead of async/await, super fast compile times and very very performant.
[Vs Language]
Python: Very slow, dynamic typing, async await, multithreading is an issue, deployment not as straightforward, messy dependency management
Java/C#: On the heavy side for resources, verbose and various design patterns, async await, around the same performance as Go
Nodejs: Async await, slower than Go, node modules, deployment not as straightforward, single threaded execution
Rust: async await, long compile time, high and long learning curve, on average will take longer to develop in Rust, sparse talent pool, faster than Go BUT for the effort it takes to get there, don't think its worth it and the extra performance is mostly not worth the above trade-offs (unless you operate on the scale of Discord)
Yes there are issues with Go. No doubt. What it gives you by default is a language designed for the web backend. No contest in my opinion.
77% of abortions done by people who are not married and 46% done by women who are not married and not even cohabiting.
Abortion is a symptom of a problem which is the lack of marriage and the highly promiscuous lifestyle that is sold to us. Married people when there is a child on the way (planned or unplanned), there is little to no reason to get an abortion. Sleeping around lifestyle, of course the first thing that happens when pregnant, abortion...
But well done to the team and hopefully this continues to grow and see investment.
The new Qualcomm Oryon chips are more powerful but also much more expensive. So the X lineup is actually quite reasonable if you want smartphones to be "affordable".

The M1/M2 is an amazing chip, however you need to consider that these chips are in different price brackets hence the performance discrepancy.
