AWS is huge, but most products need a small subset: compute, a managed database, object storage, and sane secrets handling.
I prefer boring defaults: least privilege access, automated backups for MySQL or Postgres, and monitoring that tells you when something is wrong before users do.
You do not need every new service on day one. You need a setup you can explain and hand off.
