"Lead Mobile Application Developer"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Mobile SDK?

The ease of use in this product is the major reason everyone trying to move their services there. They are pretty much close to 100% run-time and it makes their service reliable in compare to the others. They are up to date with the latest technology and this can help our product to be more stable. You can get a lot of supports and helps from them or outsider communities as well.

What do you dislike about AWS Mobile SDK?

Service is expensive which at some points you need justifications to get approval from the finance department. They are not supporting Carthage and that is a sad face. Caching system on their S3 is sometimes working bad which caused us to using direct links in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Mobile SDK:

Keep in mind this service is good for established products and not the startups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Mobile SDK solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is supporting our backend and maintaining our resources like product images. When we start to use the SDK on mobile applications we figured it can fetch images faster than the normal HTTP call which help us on performance. On the other hand their authentication service, Cognito is really easy to use product and saved us a lot of times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
