"If you make anything good, you're going to have competitors, so you may as well face that. You can only avoid competition by avoiding good ideas."

That's only relevant if all you do is search. If you're using a commodity search engine, as so many people are, an AWS offering lets you shrink the number of areas which you have to think about so you can focus on your big ideas.
