> In my opinion AirBnB is setting money on fire by running on AWS.

And I'm saying you're completely armchairing this analysis because you literally don't know any of these details.

> A company like caterpillar I think should be run almost entirely on no/low code platforms.

Are you suggesting a global manufacturer like Catepillar run it's global financial ledger on a no-code platform? Which implies building the code for it and then maintaining it?

> It seems you're trying to nail down an absolute

In fact, I'm not. The only absolute I'm trying to nail down is "you need to do a buy vs build, rent vs own assessment and make the decision there, neither one is unilaterally true without that assessment". Anyone trying to speculate about budgets in the $100M+ space is just heresay.
