I've stayed away from AWS for these reasons. Instead I use systems on top of AWS, like Vercel etc.
Is it ironic that Amazon's mantra is to be "Customer obsessed" yet AWS is so magnificently confusing for anyone not doing it full-time?
As a designer I've used plenty of Digital Ocean, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers and other static hosts without a problem... I've never been able to figure out how to even start on AWS, and all these horror stories constantly make sure I stay away
- UglyToad 6y agoI'm so miserable that I finally got around to embracing open ecosystems after almost a decade of being Microsoft-poisoned and now everyone is all in on some baffling walled garden with abysmal UX and about 300 different services that you need a damn NASA PhD to understand. Like the number of times I find myself in some random service/feature/part of AWS like "do we use one of these? how would I even tell?".
- scarface74 6y agoI know AWS well. In fact I work at AWS in ProServe. But, I have run up a “bill” on my internal personal accounts before. If I were ever going to do a personal project that wasn’t appropriate for serverless, I would just use LightSail. https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/ https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/
