Article complains about hosting being challenging and cites raw compute providers. Plenty of companies (Heroku, App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk, for example) offer easy, templatized hosting with effortless autoscaling, availability, auditing, monitoring, logging, everything you could possibly need.
If you're trying to compete with these providers at least be upfront about it, instead of purposely misrepresenting the state of the market.
You are probably right, I should have probably mentioned them
But none of those options give you choice when it comes to your server provider and since the post was about servers and my opinion on the fact that servers have been left behind while the rest of the developer facing market moves to simplify things, I do feel somewhat justified in not mentioning them.
Regardless, I’ve added a clarification to the post.
