This is what I was wondering. The entire concept of AWS is built around "re-use". Forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't Bezos decide to rebuild amazon because of technical debt and wanted to build independent "re-usable" components. The entire thing was modeled as though teams were really companies. Each "team/company" (think of RDS as a team) defined their API to the overall guidelines, and then other teams interacted with them to make use of their service. He realized the business case for this and AWS was born. Maybe that's just some fake story I read somewhere.
Anyway the entire concept of B2B also challenges this. We don't build a new company each time we need something new. Even assembly language doesn't agree with this.
- lonelappde 7y agoIt's fake. Bezos/team realized Amazon was good at web tech and so built a version for sale. Amazon didn't eat its own dogfood until years later. They did the same thing for logistics too, building a service for each logistical task they do (warehousing and delivery)
