No. I think of AWS now as a PaaS and whilst it is a tiny market it is a growth one and Amazon is the big fish. There are lots of companies offering database/search engine/queues as a service but none that offer all of them integrated under a unified security model.
- shykes 14y agoBefore I believe your "big fish" theory you'll have to show me numbers or some sort of convincing anecdotical evidence. Every day I see overwhelming evidence from my work that EC2 and S3 are widely adopted in the tech startup community. RDS is a very, very, very distant third. Everything else (beanstalk, elasticache, elastic map reduce...) is not even a blip on my radar.
- nl 14y agoI think elastic load balancing is widely adopted.
- rdl 14y agoI don't think ELB is the kind of thing you'd want to use if you weren't on AWS. It's only because they don't do better load balancing or let you build your own (with multiple IPs per box) that you use ELB. Same with DynamoDB: the only reason I'd use it is because EC2 instances don't come with SSDs. Otherwise, meh.
