  • ✓Fully managed service with automatic scaling — no infrastructure to maintain or capacity planning required
  • ✓Handles documents up to 3,000 pages via async processing with SNS completion notifications

Cons

  • ✗No custom model training — limited to AWS prebuilt extraction models only
  • ✗Complex nested JSON output requires significant preprocessing for LLM and RAG applications
