It doesn't have to be innovative, it needs to be useful. Having this inside the aws ecosystem, is going to be very useful for a lot of people.

It's about as useful as amazon web services are, for 90% of the companies that are going to get rid of their infrastructure and become completely dependent on amazon for their business to continue functioning.

These little creepy 'useful' products are just vendor lock-in, the same way those creepy Internet Explorer-only features were 'useful', and forced the whole goddamn web development industry to complicate their tooling and made testing and providing the same experience across browsers a goddamn nightmare for decades (is it still ongoing? I thankfully escaped hell that is modern web development).

I'll probably be on my deathbed by the time these old idiot governments comprehend what these creepy IT companies have been up to since their inception.
