Amazon AWS

Amazon Web Services offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Free to join, pay only for what you use.

Segment wrote about their experiences reducing the Amazon bill. It's a great and frank blogpost about cost optimisation on AWS. Segment probably don't regret using AWS but I do think it is a case study in how complicated pricing can be confusing. The "hot partitions" problem is very common on DynamoDB.

Microsoft Azure

Windows Azure and SQL Azure enable you to build, host and scale applications in Microsoft datacenters.

I haven't used Azure or AWS for a big project recently but I have used Google Cloud Platform and can confirm that it reflects Google's reputation for poor customer service. Conversely I have used DigitalOcean's support in a personal capacity and found it to be acceptable.

OVH Cloud

OVHcloud provides cloud solutions to meet all of your IT needs. With cutting edge cloud technology, come view our solutions by industry or use case.

It's true that the smaller providers don't provide the full suite of (for example) AWS. They probably never will. However they provide more and more of the most important services. DigitalOcean and OVH provide managed databases.
