Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
