Haha, no I didn't mean that service in particular. I was using 'special snowflake solution' as a derogatory term for the branded and managed services that cloud providers sell.

Sorry, I should have made it clear I was joking :)

I figured but you never know. Sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet.

I think they mean custom/managed+locked-in solution.

EG: I can move HA PG to any provider but if I build around RDS specific tooling I'm boxed in and any migrations are OOM harder.
