Amazon has been cognizant of this[antitrust risk] for a while now I believe. The internal systems are all set up to run independently, most systems are modular and already run as separate entities with permissioned access.
Proof: worked as an SDE for AWS and Amazon for 7 yrs.

Bezos said as much in 2002 when he issued his API mandate.[1][2] 1. https://chrislaing.net/blog/the-memo/ https://chrislaing.net/blog/the-memo/ 2. https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611 https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611
- CaffeinatedDev 3y ago> independent modular systems make it a lot easier to build stuff inside of such a large company Yep this is definitely true. I sort of saw it as a two birds kind of situation. I wasn't privy to the reasons for c suite decisions but imo they are definitely cognizant of regulatory concerns.
