You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.
Based on our record, Amazon AWS seems to be a lot more popular than Courier. While we know about 364 links to Amazon AWS, we've tracked only 3 mentions of Courier.

Background: I'm the solo founder of Courier (courier.com). We build APIs that help developers easily build notifications for their products for any channel - email, SMS, Slack, push, inbox, etc. These days we're ~40 people, Series B, with almost $50M raised from Google Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, Twilio, Slack, and a bunch of amazing angels.

Roll your own like me so far, or do you use 3rd-party notification tools like Courier or Knock? Source: about 1 year ago
Courier is ideal for this kind of application since it makes it simple to integrate notification systems. We will be using the Courier API to send email notifications for now, but it is quite easy to extend it to use SMS or other communication channels. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
In 2006, Amazon launched EC2 and S3 which was the foundation of the first major cloud platform, AWS. Amazon decided to essentially provide their users with storage and virtual machines to operate. They had excess servers in their datacenters and saw this as an opportunity to make some extra money. - Source: dev.to / about 3 hours ago
