Amazon EC2 Systems Manager

What do you like best?

It is integrated with kms so you can secure a parameter such as api key or passwords instead of having them unsecure in the function or as a environment variable to the function. It is also versioned if something change we can check the changes

What do you dislike?

Default key for kms should not be a option as it is not secure. Anybody or a function with parameter store access can dump the secured entries if you dont have separate kms keys with separate access

Recommendations to others considering the product:

This is something you should use if you use serverless functions that needs to access keys and passwords

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Have password and sensative api keys outside of code or environment variables, basically a secure store for the code
