I'm a core dev of stacker, it's worth taking a look at if you maintain Cloudformation templates. Makes life a lot better.
At Remind (remind.com) we have nearly 600 separate Cloudformation stacks which build and maintain our stage and prod environments. This would be insane without stacker.
As for this tweet, I'm fairly confident he is talking about a side projects or early startups and I agree with most of what he said.
Personal, I don't use AWS for side projects, I use offerings from Linode, Digital Ocean, and vultr. They are cheaper and scale up vertically with a click of a button, which is really what you need for the first couple of years, unless you hit the growth/scaling lottery, which isn't typically the case.
For example, over the last two weekends I was able to use Digital Ocean Spaces (alternative to AWS S3) to build my wife a secure digital downloads store.
All uploads and downloads use presigned POST and GET urls created via Boto3! I was suprised how perfect Digital Ocean implemented S3's API in their Spaces offering.
