Great. If only their tech stack was at the same level.

In terms of support (filing tickets) we can generally get on a call with AWS in a matter of minutes. If there's one thing that's annoying, is the status page. We'll often get notified of outages by our account rep way before there's anything in the status page.

It’s something. I just love waiting 5-15 minutes just to see a log line, if I even see it at all with how routinely problematic and unstable their logging infrastructure is[1]
