While "AWS Alternative" sets the bar really high, I've always thought that it'd be cool to have a coreutils for web stuff. Things like weather, geo-ip, geocoding, translation, currency, basic signup forms, etc could well be an all-in-one single payment type thing. It seems like this does a lot of that and I would focus branding around that part specifically. Running an s3-like and DB is also a much harder problem that there are good solutions for! Will be giving it a try!

This is apparently the trend right now, and these utilities are already there. What's still hard to do is the "glue" that connects the infrastructure/scaling side with the building blocks: that's "still" developers/devops work. Maybe a vertical approach will likely work in practice: like having a platform that allows idea to app in 1 week or less with minimal human intervention (authentication/signup, authorization/permissions/credentials, marketing automation and analytics, billing, email collect, static pages templates, CRM, media storage and delivery, infrastructure and scaling) in a specific domain, let's say for example in the edtech space.
