Whats funny is in some sense, temporal replaces alot of the AWS stack. You dont really need queues, step functions, lambdas, and the rest. I personally think its a better compute model than the wildly complicated AWS infra. Deploying temporal on compute primitives is simply better, and allows for you to be cloud agnostic.

I sometimes suspect AWS deliberately looks for ways to extract low-overhead tasks into dedicated services for the simple reason that many people will pay for the service without thinking about whether they really need it.

Its very easy to add AWS services, but after building them into a stack over a few years, its basically impossible to remove them

yes, one word: IAM

same guys worked on temporal as aws step functions. they just learned over time.
