Figma's cloud computing costs average $300,000 daily, representing around 12% of its total revenue of $821 million. The company has signed a renewed hosting agreement with AWS, committing to a minimum of $545 million over the next five years. This dependence raises concerns regarding AWS's performance and the potential for service disruptions. Figma’s infrastructure is deeply integrated with AWS, leaving it vulnerable to any changes in terms of service or contract cancellations. Comparatively, other companies like Scrimba operate on dedicated servers, spending significantly less on infrastructure.
