I hate how Cloudwatch itself is so fragmented, and they have three different query languages for logs.

It’s all cognitive overhead I don’t want to learn.

I will say that the language isn't the most intuitive, and a project like this one with some simply querying with the (presumed) ability to drop down to SQL for power use is probably the ideal solution. (Doable with CloudWatch logs and Athena, but that's another can of complex worms)

I would be happy to pay a premium for a better cloudwatch. For me it is always not intuitive which I am sure is driven by limited use.
