Twitch’s video infra is not on AWS. Only the non-video stuff is. Video and networking costs a lot.

Oh, that's surprising. It's in-house then? I can't imagine they'd be paying a non-AWS provider.

Yes, it was a complicated part of the acquisition. Twitch owns a lot of hardware and has it in colos all over the place. There are some control plane components in AWS but those are relatively small.
