And this is why it’s not easy to use any of the cloud platforms parttime. They’re all full of these kinds of gotchas and your example is even a minor one since it really is quite clear from the documentation. There’s even a choice of Provisioned Throughput if you’re clicking this together in the Console, which should probably make you suspicious about what happens if you don’t use that.
But a certified AWS Architect, especially at the higher levels will easily spot the big gotchas from just your architecture diagram. Consider getting certified yourself, if you want to be more confident around these in the future. But there really is no replacement for just putting in a lot of hours.
- bostonsre 6y agoDoes the certification cover all products? They seem to be releasing products more and more frequently.. it has to be tough to keep up to speed on everything to a degree where you don't need Google to explore options and plan projects.

- jiggawatts 6y agoWhat value is the certification for the cloud? It's such an incredibly rapidly changing thing, anything you learn goes out-of-date in a matter of months. The two things I complained about in this thread are no longer issues, they got fixed. The project I'm working on right now is using a PaaS stack is a bit of a "moving target". I feel like those people running to catch a train that's still rolling along...
