AWS urges acceleration in product development

Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently faced internal pressure after a senior manager criticized the slow market launch of new products. During AWS's high-profile Reinvent event last December, traditionally held in Las Vegas, a top manager urged employees to bring products to market more quickly. Typically, this conference showcases AWS's most ambitious new products and services. Last year, the company presented its Nova chatbot, competing with rivals like OpenAI in the artificial intelligence sector. An internal source revealed that customers wish to use new products immediately after their announcement, and delays could dampen enthusiasm. It remained unclear which specific products the criticism referred to, and Amazon has so far refused to comment. Paul Garman, speaking to his team in an internal meeting, emphasized the importance of strictly adhering to the product roadmap to strengthen AWS's competitiveness. Despite the disputes, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy defended the company, highlighting that AI development is in its early stages and that AWS is well-positioned. Shortly before this year's conference from December 1st to 5th, Garman further urged securing the participation of over 60,000 interested parties, as it is crucial for the success of the event.
