Very helpful words from someone who has been there and done it. I am not sure if distribution woes are as bad as I hear they are. With transparent platforms like https://studios.amazon.com/ it seems to me (from far) that ea

Biggest fan of working on paper, to the extent of carrying a clipboard in my laptop bag all the time. Along with other gadgets. I wouldn't pay for something like that either. I was suggesting it be offered for free, like gravtaar.

You are right that the choice should depend on what gets the job done best and not on what we would like the team to pick up. I assumed all the AWS SDKs were at par when it came to helping us do what we want done.
