It is a fragmented company in which anyone looking to stand out creates a whole new product. Once they've moved on the new team has no real interest and another cycle starts with them looking to create a new product to standout.
I can only assume something similar in AWS world since that thing is crammed pack with some new feature that tweaks something.
I cant really fault the employees, companies don't have much culture of loyalty anymore. May as well get in and get what you need before getting out.
- random5634 6y agoHas AWS ever killed a product? I used simple DB forever before switching to dynamoDb - I didn't remember I was using it - but it kept working
- DaedPsyker 6y agoOh no I dont think so. I meant more that success seems to be more measured by launching features rather than any other metric.
- random5634 6y agoExcept people's complaint about google is that they kill products. These companies are so large they launch TONS of stuff to avoid being out innovated. Echo took off for example, fire phone flopped, book store did well, AWS took off, I'm sure some other things flopped. But AWS just does not seem to actually kill their compute products. So my example was simply SimpleDB I'm not sure is even available in console anymore, but it all still worked (a few years ago - they've probably killed it by now I guess).
