Ok here is the playbook:

- Look at the list of products

- Copy one of them

- Do it a bit better (e.g. cheaper, faster, hosted in EU, targeted at some specific segment of users etc.)

- Launch asap (no longer than 3 months of coding)

- Reach out to potential users everywhere you can, until you get a few dollars of recurring revenue in

- Write blogs, and long form content, integrate with other libraries and systems

- Automate everything, pay for services that aren't core to your business (e.g. payments, backups, etc.)

- Do everything you can to help all your early users, keep improving the product every week

- Wait a few months/years, till it compounds up to 10-20k MRR

Are you suggesting to copy one of AWS services? This seems like fool's errand.

Thanks. I'll definitely take a look.
