Until 2 weeks ago. I worked at AWS Professional Services.

Most of the time, when a new service is introduced, we were given all sorts of go to market videos to watch and were asked to find use cases for it for our customers.

I never heard anything about Honeycomb coming from anyone on the service team. I worked on a popular company sponsored open source project. We looked into integrating with it and I said hell no.

We’re you in marketing?

No, I was in the consulting department doing hands on keyboard work. I specialized in “application modernization”. It’s a combination of cloud architecture and enterprise development/architecture[1].

We were sone of the closest to the customers. Getting customer adoption for new service is always big deal. You can see when a new service or feature is introduced where part of the marketing is showing what customers are actually using it.

[1] No I’m not looking for a job and this isn’t self promotion. I have more than enough work.
