Just reading his run up regarding their distributed server technology it read to me like a brief ad for AppEngine.

I'm thinking about all of the hardcore neuron work that went in to their infrastructure and how I'm getting a competing product for a song.

for liberal definitions of "competing" The only similar cloud services are from Microsoft and Google and they are about the same price, definitely not "a song" territory.
I meant that given your app works within the restrictions of GAE you get the benefit of a lot of brainpower from men with long beards.

Maybe the association was temporal as I'd just finished watching an IO presentation about how to scheme data for appengine where the detail was primarily the same as Bezos' first few paragraphs.

Like many conversations, this conflict was only a result of miscommunication.
