Is there any proprietary Amazon end-dev/ops facing service that's worth using? I've never had a good experience with any I've tried - CodeBuild, Cloud9, Q, SageMaker, WorkMail, WorkDocs, Chime, OpsWorks,...

I love AWS at the infrastructure level, but their PaaS tends to be meh, and their end-user directed stuff is usually atrocious.

When I was at AWS I had exactly one customer who used Chime and they loved it.

They were a manufacturing org and only managers had licenses to MS Office and users in Active Directory. Everybody else was registered on a separate OpenLDAP directory to avoid paying MS licenses.

Chime was cheaper per user than onboarding everybody into AD and paying Teams, and they could tack Chime usage into their AWS bill.
