AWS has over 175+ services and is continually improving. I would say more new services on launch don't live up to the promise but quarter after quarter you see dramatic improvement, some services it's year after year. What makes AWS so valuable is not individual services but the fact you can string them together which outweighs the feature set of a single service.

Github is amazing for developer happiness but CodeCommit is secure and seamlessly integrates with so many AWS Services I Can live without all the bells and whisltes of Github.

Elasticsearch is on the older side of those 175, since it launched in 2015. [1]

I've never had aws hand over anything under a tenuous legal argument. Github bent over and found the first reason they could. I'll pay my money to AWS first, because it doesn't compromise my business.
