I am interested to see how long or if Elastic sticks around after this. If people will just move on to another AWS product or if they'll keep using Elasticsearch.

I think it depends on whether Amazon wants to start funding development of their fork. I think under this new license, Amazon can’t just bring over changes from elastic any more.

If Amazon commits to dev work then their project might be the one that survives since it’s actually OSS and more capable of being used in more products.

But if they don’t then it will drift and not be very useful any longer.
