I'm currently in the middle of building such a thing. It's nice to see that there are more efforts in that directon.

I'm do it more "on the side", the actual goal is an SaaS product.

Also, I'm looking more into non-AWS solutions right now. Cloudflare Workers, FaunaDB, Auth0, Paddle, etc.

Thank you for your support and extremely happy you are also building a SaaS.

Definitively, there are several ways to build a SaaS product and I also think Cloudflare Workers, FaunaDB, Auth0, Paddle, etc. is a good stack.

One good thing to use AWS, everything is centralized. Another good thing is you can use Infrastructure as code. As a developer, you can provision everything with code (TypeScript), no need to click and remember user interface.

That's right.

AWS brings more out-of-the-box.

But stand alone solutions are usually more polished.

Currently, I'm using Pulumi, which is like the AWS CDK, but for more than AWS.

I built some resource providers for unsupported services, and it worked like a charm.
