I saw that when it was announced. DSSTNE has failed to capture the hearts and minds of developers. In my experience, it doesn't come up in any conversations about which frameworks to bet on for new product development.

And I'm rooting for Amazon (and FaceBook, and Microsoft...). TensorFlow needs competition for the hearts and minds of developers.

This doesn't address the root comment at all. Does Amazon actually think MXNet is the best? Or did they simply choose the next best thing that isn't already backed by another "big four" company (Google -> TensorFlow, Facebook -> Torch). It's hard to believe this is actually about scalability without any data.

Here is a very nice blog article explaining how Amazon is generating recommendations at scale with Apache Spark and Amazon DSSTNE :) https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/generating-recommendat...
