I’m not an employee, and not really a fan boy either, but I was sort of blown away by Re:Invent. I guess the share price reflects that others feel the same way. But if you’re Jeff Bezos, where do you go from here? What are major, impactful Services AWS can launch? (Just geeking out here with fellow PMs/Engineers - no partisan answers please - feel free to answer as a GCP or Azure product idea as well; if you actually work at AWS and know the roadmap - you probably shouldn’t share).
What makes you think we’d share any of this on Blind? Sounds like someone looking for competitive intelligence/deets for insider trading. Noooope!
I’m actually curious to hear what AWS customers think, not you :) I’m a startup customer paying you 50k/mo by the way (big money for us though not for you)
AwS is buying companies and building a better build echo system for AWS. Take a look at the products like Aurora technology, it is an enhanced RDS which is built to run on MySQL, other versions don’t have sys bench test yet. But no sql is not planned yet. That said, AWS knows in order to be a SaaS platform, since AWS does not have turn key application offerings hence it is not a software company... therefore AWS is creating a better platform for ISVs to build apps and becoming partner centric. Because compute platform is offered dime a dozen now. However, Microsoft is a software company and born into cloud comes natural and processing. Also the key ingredients of the cloud building like Docker and Container is used by both companies. But there is rumors that Microsoft will buy Docker, if that happens. It is a game changer.. but products like Glue On and smart AI and BI is the future for any cloud company in the Big Data world. I put my money on MICROSOFT to scale going forward. We have the talent , software know how and money pretty good presence in the enterprise space too.. AWS is facing serious compete now...
Blockchain
vertically integrated solutions.
New products and services on AWS are internal proprietary information..no one would share here..
I’m asking non-AWS PMs/Engg. Like you :) What would you build?
Ohh got it.
