  AWS employee here. QLDB has been used internally at AWS for quite some time. We decided to turn our internal service into an external facing product because we saw a demand for a ledger system with central authority. Many people were trying to force Blockchain to accomplish this, while we already had an internal ledger solution that is far more scalable while still being cryptographically verifiable.
