  I know there's no obligation to invest in services that don't make money, so please don't take this as some kind of expectation of that. A dedicated team doesn't always mean there's an equal distribution of quality and innovation. You can have a dedicated team that's so small they only have time to do bug fixes or a team with less talent/experience because everyone wants to move to teams working on the projects with the most organizational momentum.

    TBH I think you have a point there: the hot new thing is serverless and lambda so everyone I know really wants to work on those teams. I see where you're coming from for sure. There are still a lot of talented and passionate people at Amazon who want to execute on other products. The S3 team is still growing 10 years later and they're still doing (IMO) cool stuff. I'm a devangelist though so I don't always get to see the inside of every team (not enough time). I do know that we all drink the customer focused kool-aide and we genuinely believe in it. Sorry if this all sounds like marketing.

      It doesn't sound like marketing to me and I appreciate your response. You could have just as easily ignored my comment.
