Testing in particular is something I hate about AWS being the most egregious.
You don’t get any testing services baked into the pricing, you’re paying production pricing for setting up / tearing down environments for testing. They have little to nothing in the ways of running emulators locally for services and it leads to other solutions of varying quality.
It’s outrageous and something i will always hold against AWS forever. Not to mention their CDK is for shit. Their APIs are terrible and poorly documented. I don’t know why anyone chooses them still other than they seem to have the “nobody got fired for choosing AWS” effect.
Azure is really good at providing emulators for lots of their core services for local testing for instance. Firebase is too, though I can’t vouch for the wider GCP ecosystem
