As much as I agree with your point about being hard, I&#x27;d also like to add out that there isn&#x27;t anything even remotely similar to documentation on how a pure dev person could do this <i>outside</i> of AWS, with the lack of managed cognito, API gateway + lambda, and dynamodb.<p>Making those notions and technologies easy and cheap to access AWS suddenly gave devs the idea that they can roll out complex infrastructure on their own, similar to copy-pasting a piece of code. Well, it is still a bit harder than that, and if you are that kind of dev (which I&#x27;d applaud), you&#x27;d better dedicate some time to learning those technologies.
