Master stroke! Especially the pricing and autoscaling. Till they brought autoscaling and pay as you go pricing for DynamoDB, Google cloud data store was superior product (at least on paper) as you didn't need to think about preprovisioning the capacity. It is supposed to just scale. They have brought the same model to Cassandra. So no vendor lock in! Also one of the reasons small projects stayed away from Cassandra is the requirement of an hefty cluster to get decent performance out of it. That too is taken care by AWS and made Cassandra much more accessible. Now only thing that needs to be seen is how good this AWS product is. Especially for first year many AWS services get very average reviews.
