It’s fascinating that Amazon Web Services have so many overlapping and competing services to achieve the same objective. Efficiency/small footprint was never their approach :D

For example, look how many different types of database they offer (many achieve the same objective but different instantiation)

They are not competing those are offerings. "AWS has many offerings" is a completly different thing than saying they compete against each other.
