How is Amazon supposed to know actual user numbers? That's app specific.


You can't get exact numbers, but for consumer-facing products you can estimate it via unique IPs hitting the load balancers, etc.


That would require amazon gathering customer information and possibly GDPR data on the usage of all of it's customers, which is a thing amazon doesn't do, and you don't want your cloud providers doing.


They probably meant page views and such.
