    For a non-tech individual, I appreciated your break down of PLTR's "MOAT!" The scope, breath and depth of your technical analysis from a software engineer's point of view is most appreciated. Your videos give a perspective of PLTR that very few people talk about and/or may have the experience in. Your analysis again confirms my reasons for investing in PLTR! Mahalo for the work that it takes, I enjoy your videos!

    • @codestrap8031
      @codestrap8031  2 года назад +5

      I dont want to speculate too much on that. But I do know they have a silo SaaS model. Silo models are notoriously hard to scale and integrate. The reason is when you sign up infrastructure like EC2 instances, network, permissions, etc are all provisioned. These are often called share nothing architectures, but I like to call them dev ops nightmares. Contrast that with a pool model where a user sign up consists of nothing more than database entries and a credit card transactions. PLTR may find a hybrid approach like the one Snowflake uses is the best fit to scale their platform. But either approach would likely need a total overhaul. Why? Because both hybrid approaches and pool models achieve client separation at the software level. Hope this helps explain that.

    Thanks for another great video. I’m a little confused why AWS, Microsoft and Palantir have a partnership if they’re competitors.

    • @codestrap8031
      @codestrap8031  2 года назад +6

      I can speak to AWS. AWS offers a competitive service for almost anyone. Snowflake competes with AWS Redshift. MongoDB competes with AWS DocumentDB. CloudFlare competes with AWS CloudFront. But all those competitors I just mentioned have better products and similar partnerships with AWS to reduce the friction for existing AWS customers. These usually take the form of an integration layer a company like SnowFlake, or MongoDB, or PLTR builds. Why wouldn't AWS customers just use the AWS equivalent? The answer IMO is the developer experience. Its just terrible working with AWS solutions. The company really needs to seperate AWS infrastructure (networks, data centers, chip sets, etc) from its software solutions. There is no worse place to be in SaaS than sinking to the depths because you're stuck maintaining software for a handful of customers who depend on it. A company that focuses a product on a single problem will always out perform one trying to deliver on every problem. If AWS did not partner with software its customers actually want to use they would open the door for competitors to bleed customers off the platform. AWS is really going to have a massive opportunity cost to pay one day for all these failed services. My prediction is one day they spin off the software side and promptly open source it and remove support. This is what Adobe did when Apple killed flash. Hopefully it's what AWS does when Foundry kills SageMaker.

    @User_not_found_403 2 года назад +5

    Can I play devil's advocate here? I think the word MOAT is overused and misused. In a business context, a moat is considered a scarce, if not unique, competitive advantage. You are describing technical features - maybe that appeals to a developer, but unless you can translate how that makes a business or end customer's life better, faster or cheaper, its just a feature. Just because something is hard to do doesn't necessarily make it valuable. Palantir's security clearance is a mostly a competitive advantage in government. It will help in expanding their government business, but not as much in the commercial space (except with security sensitive customers). So it's kind of a half moat. People keep saying Palantir's stickiness is a moat. Again, not really true. This is true of most enterprise applications - once a customer has invested and implemented it, they aren't changing unless there is a compelling need to. This is not unique to PLTR, this is more of a lock-in, hostage play. It not something that gives them an advantage when selling to a new customer. Maybe I'm being critical here, but real, unique competitive advantages are hard to come by and the one's being thrown around IMO are not compelling arguments for moats.

    • @codestrap8031
      @codestrap8031  2 года назад +5

      Sure thing. Let me attempt to answer with a couple rhetorical questions. What were the competitive advantages that lead the world's largest book store to become the world's largest infrastructure company at the time it went public? What were the competitive advantages of the world's largest advertising platform at the time it went public? Neither Amazon nor Google were evaluated correctly because their biggest advantages, thier founders and their operations, don't fit traditional models. The flywheel of innovation is driven first by amazing individuals, and second by amazing operations. Engineering at scale is something almost everyone fails to achieve. So from my perspective, which ignores traditional metrics, PLTR will simply out compete their competitors for decades because innovation is in their DNA. As Andy Jassy once told an Amazon employee, all you need to do around here is innovate.

    • @User_not_found_403
      @User_not_found_403 2 года назад

      @@codestrap8031 Well, I don't think those are rhetorical questions. In fact, the value proposition of a competitive advantage should be dead simple to understand. In the case of Google, they provide a superior quality search service which has high demand for use. In turn the use of their search, gives them incredible data insights into buying behaviour to sell adds. For Amazon, the value prop is simple. They offer a low cost, low friction e-commerce experience made possible by their technology and highly vertically integrated infrastructure (web app, AWS, warehouse automation, logistics network, etc). The investments Amazon has made in infrastructure make it hard for other e-comm to compete in terms of cost, speed and experience - that is their moat. It's not a complement to say people don't understand PLTR's business model/value proposition. Hard to invest in what is not understandable. TSLA is another example. Dead simple to understand their competitive advantage. They make the best EVS and can do it faster, cheaper than anyone else - hence they can command a massive multiple by shareholders.

Even if you picked Amazon or Google later in their maturity cycle, when you started to see the benefits/results that I mentioned - you would have made tons of money.
