That's wonderful. Now you can use those requests to read from or write to SQS, do DynamoDB stuff and play in the AWS walled garden where things seem cheap at first but things add up. You can then keep telling yourself you have a stable, managed infrastructure and you're cutting on operational expenses and able to move fast while the engineers in your organization are working harder to make things work with generic services with shortcomings, making your product actually work in less than optimal ways. Managed services feel like they are helping with operational costs but they have a cost when you're building your product. I worked on projects that would have ended up being simpler and cheaper to operate on physical dedicated servers, but instead they are running on "ASG's that autoscale and have zero downtime" with "ALBs that send traffic to any and all hosts when all origins report unhealthy". Things in the managed world is far less than ideal because one size doesn't fit all.
