AWS lock-in makes it unsuitable for multi-cloud architectures

StackBlitz

Specific Teams and Enterprise pricing figures are not published; visitors must request a quote or infer from the pricing calculator.
Browser-based execution via WebContainers has limits on which native/binary dependencies can run compared to a real server-backed environment.
