Effective as a vector store, serverless architecture but there aren't enough security features
The pricing aspect is a concern. The service is way too costly. For the past month, I used only 30 to 40 MB of data, and the cost was $500. AWS could improve pricing. Even being serverless, it incurs charges during idle times. For just holding data, you need to create a list. AWS should add an option to make data idle, so it won't include computing charges. They charge for OCU units based on the time the serverless solution is up, not on indexing or retrieval speed. Once the service starts, it starts getting billed. It would help if there were an option to limit computing. When using it as a database, storing data without frequent fetching would save computing costs.

Efficient resource management but backup extension needs improvement
The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive. It does not affect system performance, which is crucial for development purposes. Unlike other software that requires a lot of local resources, CrowdStrike is a thin tool and does not significantly impact the development environment. Additionally, manual intervention is minimal, leading to resource savings.
