I was always surprised one of the cloud providers didn't release a cloud-native full-text search service. A lot of projects could benefit by a simple text search service. I always found Elasticsearch to be a little clunky and found myself wishing there was an alternative. While I don't like to be locked into a cloud vendor, having a simple text search service might be enough to sway me towards a particular vendor, even if it's proprietary.
Amazon's Elasticsearch service does simplify installation and management, but honestly I wish it were even simpler. I don't want to even think about CPU/memory sizing or the number of shards.
