Amazon has launched a database that’s compatible with the MongoDB API, but doesn’t use any MongoDB code. The move is being seen as a counter-move to MongoDB’s attempt to make Amazon pay up for using its open source software.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they try to copy you,
And then you change the world.
