AWS SAM Developer Experience
AWS SAM DX failures

Developing w/ AWS Lamdba is such a terrible experience, I'm going to try Cloud9 in maybe the hopes that I'm doing it wrong. I fully expect it to be much worse.

No way to add retention to default log
https://github.com/aws/serverless-application-model/issues/972
No way to deploy without creating a Cloudformation change
https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/4287
No way to see the CNAME API once deploying
Without using Route53, once needs to see the DNS name outputted to plug into a third party DNS provider!
Fixed in https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/4670 via https://github.com/aws/serverless-application-model/issues/1386
Runtime: provided.al2
The developer experience one has to jump to deploy to arm64 is painful. For example you must name your executable bootstrap.
No static binary
sam cli is non-trivial to install with its Python dependencies. I am not sure how this can be considered a one click install. A static binary would be so much better.
Refactoring the template.yml can cause a UPDATE_FAILED
