Hmm, you are missing the big picture.
AWS needs these to prevent other players encroach their ecosystem. The higher the upper-stack offerings in the tech stack, the lower the quality is requires to be dominant. But the ecosystem will secure the customers.
It's not that you cannot beat AWS in one or two offerings, but you cannot beat them as an ecosystem.
- mooreds 10y ago> It's not that you cannot beat AWS in one or two offerings, but you cannot beat them as an ecosystem. Very true! If you only offer one piece, then you have to 1. integrate with them and other providers And 2. Be substantially better (2x, 5x?) in order to beat the default provided by AWS And 3. Don't forget you are competing with open source options as well (where the cost is the time to set up a solution, but no cash outlay)
