At its re:Invent user conference in Las Vegas today, public cloud infrastructure provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch of Amazon Pinpoint, a mobile analytics service.
Pinpoint will help developers understand the behaviors of people using mobile apps. It lets developers send push notifications and then track the impact of them, Amazon vice president and chief technology officer Werner Vogels said during today’s keynote.

As such, PinPoint could represent competition for smaller companies like Amplitude, Heap, Localytics, and Mixpanel.
