I thought it was a hosted offering of Apache Spark which has been around for years. Odd to choose a name like that.

- ianamartin 9y agoThat was my first impression as well. Yet another hobbled open-source technology being offered at a ridiculous price to tighten the lock-in noose on AWS. Yay. Turns out it's just another social media flop. I'm okay with that.
- ramphastidae 9y agoCan you elaborate? Are you saying Apache Spark itself is hobbled, or Amazon is offering a hobbled version?
- Tommah 9y agoYes, I thought the same thing. I was picturing a bunch of marketers trying to crunch big data.
