I've given up every time I've tried it on personal projects. It's just a complete poorly document mess indeed.

At work we host our stuff on AWS but we have an ops team that deals with all the garbage. All I care about are APIs, endpoints and that one thing can talk to another.

Yeah, so much for the fantasy of cloud platforms eliminating the need for ops staff. The guy who used to setup and manage your Linux VPSs just switched jobs to manage your AWS infra and charges extra for it.
