> We couldn’t run without AWS [...] said David Singleton, chief technology officer of Stripe

I know this is a PR piece, but shouldn't a CTO know better? What could they possible not have achieved if they weren't using AWS? Literally every feature of AWS exists somewhere else. Maybe not all of the same features in the same place, but to say they couldn't run Stripe without AWS strikes me a bit silly.

A little hyperbolic marketing for AWS in exchange for a fat deal. This deal will probably help Stripe further penetrate fortune 500 companies on case study alone.
