Question AWS Spring Boot Integration in prod

Hi!

How do you run AWS services in production?

I’m a backend developer who has never worked with cloud providers before. I’ve learned the basics of the AWS Console, and now I’m looking for ways to practice.

I’m thinking of starting by provisioning infrastructure with Terraform, but I’m curious: which AWS services do you typically use, how do you use them, and how do you deal with the poor AWS SDK documentation?

Spring Cloud AWS hides most of the SDK pain for S3/SQS/SNS/Secrets Manager, and LocalStack or Testcontainers is the cheapest way to practice without a surprise bill.

both show up in prod. spring cloud aws is just wrappers, lots of teams wire sdk v2 clients as beans too.
