I'll add that Amazon execs told us to our face that they use your AWS usage to decide if they were going to copy your services (which they did in our case), so any dev or ops tool on AWS shouldn't be there anyway for competitive reason.
- mstipetic 1y agoWhat was the service they cloned from you?
- pbiggar 1y agoCircleCI - their version is CodeBuild. Note: edited the comment above to use "copy" instead of "clone" to be more accurate.

- al_borland 1y agoThey do this in the Amazon store as well, making their own knock off versions of popular products. Very interesting that it extends into the digital space as well. This really feels like it should be illegal, and if not, I’m not sure how there hasn’t been a massive revolt against them by people who make and sell things. If they are too big and powerful to revolt against, that sounds like a monopoly that needs to be broken up.
