Usage of AWS services is a conscious decision, absolutely. However, the product architecture that uses these AWS services is subject to careful review for design and functional components integrity. Any of these components must be replaceable as issues/bottlenecks are identified. For example, if AppSync is proven to have issues as the company scales further, AppSync can be replaced with self-hosted GraphQL clusters. Additionally, other components in the architecture can be similarly replaced.
