Pretty sure that >95% of Elastic's code is created by the company and not external contributors.



Yes, but open-source software adoption and growth is about more than just those who build it, it's about those who use it. Elastic wouldn't exist without the users either.


And Amazon wouldn't have ElasticSearch without Elastic.


Both wouldn't exist without countless hours of paid/unpaid FOSS contributors (Lucene, Netty, Docker, Linux, OpenJdk).
