> your product becomes part of AWS, and AWS runs you into the ground.
As somebody, who has no knowledge about that part of the business (Amazon Web Services in production), could you elaborate on that with a few lines or point me to some articles? Thank you.
- feydaykyn 8y agoJust today, AWS announced a fork of Elasticsearch: Open Distro for Elasticsearch - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19359602 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19359602 A few months ago, AWS launched a MongoDb fork
- geofft 8y agoFor context, Elasticsearch merged their proprietary add-ons into the main repos https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open and MongoDB relicensed to a not-quite-open-source license that compels you to release code for your entire infrastructure if you're running MongoDB as a servie https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license/faq https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license... . If you make your money on support and not open core, it's difficult for Amazon to do anything to you, e.g., Red Hat is doing just fine despite Amazon Linux being a thing. (There's also https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ , a long-term-support version of the JDK, because Oracle is getting more aggressive about Oracle JDK licensing.)
