The mobile app lacks every feature imaginable.

Honestly better to live in a world without an app, than one that provides no value.

I stepped away from the computer to look at a dynamodb table and you actually canโ€™t view any records via the app. Nor can you get a live row count.

Amazon and AWS are top notch, the AWS app - not so much.

  • Why would one want to use AWS from their phone in the first place?

      Because you canโ€™t always be in front of the computer - nice to check when out of the house.

    • You should have alarms configured in the event that anything needs investigation. Donโ€™t think a mobile app fills that void. If youโ€™re checking for the sake of checking, you need to disconnect from work.

      Why would anyone have an app?

      To check things, when not on the computer.

      Okay.. Makes sense. I generally hate doing work stuff on my phone, feel like a dog on a leash, it feels weird to me.

      I thought AWS makes most of their money because people don't check things though. Maybe that's why the app is bad.

    Because none of clouds top clients care.

    Nobody picks a cloud provider on whether there is an app. It's a waste of eng resources

    Set up cloudwatch alerts to get alerted if something happens. Better to do that than to constantly check on an app.

    Better to be reactive than proactive here
