I have also been thinking of getting these certifications, but I'm not sure how much I'm going to get out of them in the long term, business-wise.

I want to study for them and get to know the AWS ecosystem better, actually learn something new for once. I do hope that there's some kind of ROI for getting them. I work freelance as a developer and I know some clients really do like certifications. Then again, AWS - as far as I know - isn't all that popular in Belgium.

The base-level certs are like $99 and, if you're more than passingly familiar with AWS, you should be able to blast through them. There are a couple questions about sillier services like SWF but it's mostly EC2, IAM, S3, and DynamoDB.
