IS YOUR MARGIN MY OPPORTUNITY IN SOFTWARE?
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
AWS's operating margins ranged between 25% to 38% between 2015 and 2025. The company prints money at scale even after a decade of cloud commoditization. Its moat is capex, and few other companies have the balance sheet to compete. AWS outspends on data centers, while most companies outspend on sales teams.
