I have to ask, is this

>"benefits (using all of the AWS services is pretty nice)"

your personal experience? Or are you simply assuming that interop / efficiencies obtain when going all-in on AWS? I ask, because I've had multiple client conversations in which these presumed benefits fail to materialize to a degree that offsets the concern about lock-in.

I can't claim to have used all of the AWS services, but whenever I need something done I check if it's offered in AWS first. SQS,SNS,ECS,ALB/ELBs,SFNs,Lambdas, media encoding pipelines, Aurora RDS, etc... have all made my job easier.
