There are some small-scale ES search-as-a-service providers that serve small and medium businesses.

There are also service providers whose core service is something entirely different and just use ES as the backend for their search APIs.

While the target is AWS (and I think what they are doing to service providers like Elastic and MongoDB is terrible), I think this will also adversely affect overall ES usage by many other companies.




Such businesses can continue providing their service, they just have to provide the code to their users.


Publicly release, not just to their users.


Technically, they only have to provide it to their users, but they have to give their users the freedom to redistribute it.

But yes that's effectively publicly releasing it.
