Comment on How Instagram Feeds Work: Celery and RabbitMQ

If they are using EC2 hosts, I wonder why they don't use AWS SQS/SNS for their queue systems and Dynamo for their materialized views.

Probably due to lock in.

Isn't the cost of those services also a function of the number of requests? E.g. they bill on a request basis, not an hourly cpu time basis?
