No doubt all cloud providers have their problems.
For my day job, over the last 2 years we have discovered and reported multiple issues with Keyspaces, Amazon Aurora, and App Runner. In all cases these issues have resulted in performance degradation, and AWS support wasting our time sending us chasing our tails. After many weeks of escalation, we eventually ended up with project leads who confirmed the issues (some of which they were already aware of, yet the support teams had wasted our time anyway!) and (some of them) have since been resolved.
We are stuck with Keyspaces for the time being, but now refuse to use any non core services (EC2, EBS, S3). As soon as you venture away from those there be dragons.
- wavemode 3y agoOh, for goddamn sure. Half the services on AWS, probably, are very poorly designed or very poorly run (or both). CloudWatch stands out to me as one that is mind-bogglingly buggy and slow. To the point of basically being a "newbie trap" - when I see companies using it for all their logging, I assume it's due to inexperience with the many alternatives. At least the compute services are reliable.
- yibers 3y agoI actually use cloudwatch quite a lot. I didn't notice many bugs or slowness, but I assume I am missing something. Can you perhaps point to some specific issues you had with Cloudwatch?

- wavemode 3y agoThe user interface is unintuitive, text search is slow, querying is even slower, refining the metric graphs to a time period is really annoying, the graph controls are consistently buggy in my experience... those are just off the top of my head
