Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation

AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."

"Unfortunately this tool's basic architecture has severe flaws which make it likely impractical for most real world marts or data warehouses."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."

"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"Technical support isn't the best. They seem to be more money-oriented than customer-oriented. We found that after the purchase, assistance and support really dropped off."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
