You can run your databases on top of Oracle’s cloud service while keeping the computing parts of your application in AWS EC2. Multi-cloud is now a popular concept and there are tools to help you configure different cloud environments for specific purposes. The use of a proxy server is another sign of a well-managed business.

What’s astonishing and few other than those who lived it as startups (I launched my second startup in this era) realize is how profound of an impact that rise of Amazon AWS (S3 & EC2) had on the startup market. The “A Round” of my startup in 1999 was $16.5 million and my A Round in 2005 was only $500,000 (and that’s all I ever raised).

The focus was S3 - storage service, EC2 - their compute cloud, their queuing system, and their flexible payment system. The EC2 is very similar to having a Linux box in a colocation facility. This would seem to be a good case for us to separate off matching and making that a more scalable operation on EC2.
