Reliable cloud workloads have run cost-effectively and now support microservices and databases
One frustration I encounter is that Amazon Linux 2 AMI (amazon linux 2) | Support by SupportedImages does not support running on-premises. If it had features available for on-premises operations, it would greatly benefit organizations like the banking projects I have worked with, where data security is crucial and many critical applications still run on-premises. If Amazon Linux 2 AMI (amazon linux 2) | Support by SupportedImages offered this support, it would provide great competition with Red Hat Linux in the market. Regarding needed improvements, I believe Amazon could enhance its documentation, particularly for older versions. I sometimes face issues when installing the CloudWatch agent to gather OS-level metrics due to inadequate documentation. I believe I have covered everything regarding improvements, and I think the points I mentioned are sufficient.

Structured FHIR workflows have enabled me to focus on interoperability and business logic
In terms of improvements for Smile Digital Health, there was not anything major that stood out as broken or missing for my use case or the company's needs. Most of what we required was handled well. If I had to nitpick, I would say sometimes the learning curve and visibility into what is happening under the hood could be tricky, especially when debugging across multiple systems. A bit more straightforward observability or clearer error messaging would have made troubleshooting faster. However, I did not find anything that prevented us from accomplishing our tasks, and I was very satisfied.If I had to add something about needed improvements, it would relate to documentation. The platform itself is solid, but when working across multiple systems, it was not always obvious where an issue originated—whether it was from our Java services, an external system, or how Smile Digital Health interpreted a FHIR resource. Clearer guided troubleshooting or examples in the documentation could have helped with those edge cases. However, integration-wise, it worked fine for what we needed; during tricky moments, I sometimes had to dig deeper to understand where and what went wrong.
