AWS service selection and optimization requires deep expertise

Query: “What are the most common pain points with AWS for developers in 2025?”3/29/2026
you need to have general knowledge of AWS services and their strong and weak points to be able to choose the optimal one for the task, 2) you need to have good knowledge of the chosen service (like DynamoDB or Step Functions) to be able to use it optimally; being mediocre at it is often not enough
