The AWS Dictionary

What every AWS service actually does.

Makes your site fast everywhere. Also caches your mistakes everywhere.

You'll pay more to monitor your infrastructure than to run it.

The docs read like they were written by someone who already understands Cognito.

Serverless Postgres. The future, probably.

Fast if you got the partition key right (which you probably didn't).

If this then that, but make it enterprise.

"Effect": "Allow", "Action": "*", "Resource": "*"

Immediately request a quota increase on concurrency.

Your favorite database, but someone else reboots it at 3 AM.

The only AWS service where the name makes sense.

A magical file system that pretends folders don't exist.

Cheap email. Getting out of sandbox requires a heartfelt letter to AWS.

Yells a message at everything subscribed to it. Email, SMS, Lambda, SQS — nobody asked to be on this list.

A line. Your messages wait in it. First in, first out- unless you pick the other kind, then it's more of a suggestion.
