2023: Service Closure
At the end of August 2023, Amazon announced the closure of the cloud service for creating Honeycode applications - it did not meet expectations. The platform, as noted, was a failure.
Launched in June 2020, Honeycode's service is designed to build apps without the use of programming skills. Initially, the project was led by Adam Bosworth, known for his many years of experience at large companies such as Google, Microsoft and Salesforce. Bosworth left Amazon in 2020, and in 2021 he was replaced by Adam Seligman, the former chief operating officer of Mozilla.
Information about the possible curtailment of the Honeycode project appeared during the Amazon Web Services (AWS) re: Invent 2021 conference. Later, in August 2022, Seligman was named Amazon's vice president of development, and subsequently took one of the top positions on the new generative artificial intelligence team at AWS.
 | After a thorough assessment, we decided to close the Amazon Honeycode service from February 29, 2024. Registering new users and changing account properties are no longer available. We are grateful to our customers for the feedback they shared while using the site, the company said in an official statement. |  |
At the same time, it is noted that existing subscribers will be able to use Honeycode and their applications as usual before the specified date. There is no charge for Honeycode as of July 31, 2023. Amazon promises to help users transfer their projects to other platforms. How many subscribers have registered with Honeycode since it was launched has not been reported.[1]
2020: Service launch
On June 24, 2020, Amazon announced the launch of the Honeycode service, designed to create applications without using programming skills. The new product should help the cloud division of Amazon Web Services (AWS) expand its audience by attracting users who do not have experience in software development.
Honeycode includes a set of templates and a user interface that novice developers can use to create applications designed for different purposes, such as task scheduling and customer experience analysis. Since the service uses AWS databases, there you can configure filtering, sorting and binding of data, using intuitive tools. The structure of data entry in the system is similar to a regular spreadsheet, the company noted.
AWS General Manager Meera Vaidyanathan, in a conversation with CNBC, noted that she personally had already used Honeycode to manage the company's personnel.
Honeycode service is free for collaboration of no more than 20 users, provided that no more than 2.5 thousand rows of data are used in the spreadsheet included in the product. Otherwise, the cost of using the environment will depend on the amount of storage and the number of participants. The first functionality of Honeycode will be tested by employees of Slack and SmugMug.
| | Customers tell us that the need for user applications far exceeds the capabilities of developers in the field of programming, "says AWS Vice President Larry Augustin. - Now with Amazon Honeycode, almost everyone can create powerful user mobile and web applications without having to write code.[2] | |
