I guess we'll take that as a compliment. I thought that we were racing, not plodding, but I must live in an AWS-induced time dilation field.

- wpietri 15y agoIt's entirely meant as a compliment. There's no way I want an infrastructure supplier to seem hurried. Internally it may have seemed as fast as possible, but externally it was never showed signs of being faster than possible, which is an amazing achievement. For our industry, almost miraculous. And I think you folks were very smart to start small and improve incrementally. As an example of what I mean, take this Slashdot comment from the EC2 launch a few years back: http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=329797&cid=21000749 http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=329797&ci... Those are all legitimate gripes, and one by one Amazon has knocked them all down. Had you tried solving all of the problems before launching, I imagine you never would have gotten anywhere. The steady pace and it's-ready-when-it's-ready releases are definitely inspiring to me.
- petervandijck 15y agoI'm always very impressed with the continues release of awesome features. I'd love to see your roadmap! Just knowing that, whatever you need or desire, AWS will probably release it at some point soon-ish, is awesome.
