Summary

AWS has over 200 fully featured services in 2022, according to their website, but the number of services is often inconsistent and difficult to understand due to overlapping features among different services. This is largely attributed to AWS' decentralized structure with multiple small teams working independently, resulting in a "chaos" of products with many overlaps. However, while it can be frustrating for engineers to choose between similar services, cost management planning can sometimes lead to unexpected bargains due to the random pricing of these services. A platform like Archera can help optimize cloud costs by automatically scouring AWS pricing and finding the best deals.
