First of all, thanks for the enhancements. It’s good to know that the project is being actively maintained.

Could you elaborate on the considerations behind the architecture changes? API Gateway went from “configure your own” to “nope, delete that, we’ll configure them for you from now on”, while Analytics went from “we’ll configure them for you” to “nah, manage your own cluster”.

It’s not prohibitively hard but still very tedious to configure and manage a Trino cluster. Do you plan to provide a CloudFormation templates in the future?
