I... I... I don't hate this idea...

I'm all-in on AWS and I've drank the kool-aid so I'm obviously biased but I've quite enjoyed living in the AWS walled garden. Stripe is one of 1-2 external services I use, bringing that "in house" would be nice, especially if CDK had full support for creating merchants/etc.

What do you think would improve by Stripe being in AWS? As a Stripe customer, I like the way Portal[0] allows me to outsource payments (almost) entirely. I don't see the advantage (relative to the cost) of building it into my product.

Resolving support issues is the only one I can think of. I have seen a non-trivial amount of Stripe integrators have to resort to social media, HN or reddit to get any real response to issues like Stripe holding their balance hostage.

Hopefully getting Stripe's designers to take a crack at the AWS UI would be nice.
