Are AWS component names considered as "jargon" in the resume?

Hi!

I'm wondering what words are considered as "jargon" in resume and what are considered as "key words"?

For example, it's clear that any acronyms of the internal project/tool must be counted as "jargon" thus should be avoid. However, should we avoid writing the names of the public tools like AWS components (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, ..., etc.) in the bullet points as well?

Thanks!

    If you're applying for an AWS engineer role specifically or something, then it's fine. But if you're applying for a general back-end role, there's a good chance the recruiter will have 0 idea what those are. I'm an engineer, and I don't know what EventBridge is (I do know Lambda and DynamoDB though).

    If you can use the space for something else, do that instead.
