Amazon Has Gone from Neutral Platform to Cutthroat Competitor: Open Source Devs
I always kept hearing that elastic search was a great product, helped to solve some difficult problems and was open source. However, when I wanted to use it I quickly found out that some important features are paid only. And the licenses cost a ton. It felt very disingenuous for it to be called open source when there are things I cannot use for personal or commercial use. Amazon enabled me to use this stack the way I wanted and now again I think elastic search is a great product. Reputation wise I think Amazon's move will only help them. Not sure business wise
