Nice to Have:

API documentation with OpenAPI/Swagger; GraphQL basics.
Event driven patterns (SNS/SQS/EventBridge/Kinesis) and asynchronous processing (Celery or AWS native).
Observability with OpenTelemetry/Tempo/Prometheus/Grafana; log correlation.
Performance tuning (async concurrency models SQL query plans bundle/asset optimization).
