It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

AWS SaaS Boost provides us with effective visualization capabilities of data. It also enables us integrate with a number of software but with some limitations. It has wonderful data merging capabilities .Boost's code is customizable enabling us modify it to meet our environmental requirements when needed. To use it well, one has to have high coding skills and should be familiar with AWS entanglements.

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.
