A 5,000-document corpus on the site calculator is $163.28/month on S3 Vectors and $510.52/month on OpenSearch Serverless Classic. $160 of the smaller bill is Claude Sonnet 5.5.

A lab schedule after the 3 August 2026 GA returned findings and zero pull requests. Agentic-readiness scores 56 criteria. AWS-managed compute runs analyses only — remediation still needs Batch or EC2.
A lab query still returned a customer the source deleted. Zero-ETL can land DynamoDB and listed SaaS sources in S3 Tables. A self-managed database cannot. Firehose database CDC was removed on 24 September 2025.
A lab table landed twice: Zero-ETL and DMS on the same rows. Self-managed databases replicate only to Redshift. Firehose Direct PUT into Iceberg is capped at 5 MiB/s in three regions, and database CDC was removed on 24 September 2025.
A lab renewal only changed the connection string, and a construct was still unconverted. Babelfish speaks TDS 7.1 through 7.4 on port 1433 and does not apply to Oracle. Identifiers longer than 63 characters are rewritten.
