Has allowed me to detect and analyze objects in images with minimal effort
From my type of project, Amazon Rekognition was not complicated to use. From my experience, it was a very good experience and easy to use. I was able to do the things that I wanted to do easily with just a little bit of debugging, but it was smooth. I would recommend staying focused on it because it's really interesting to see how it can detect objects on images or videos. The scalability is very good for me. It's easy to integrate with other AWS services and the range of capability is for object detection. It's a really good product to use.
