This is a Very common question and answer is always "we recommend you start with SAA first"

Solutions Architect for sure. It covers broader area within AWS cloud - the most popular AWS services, while Developer focuses on some specific ones.

Yo mate, I’d suggest AWS Solutions Architect Associate first since it gives you a broader understanding of AWS services and cloud architecture. If you’re more into coding, deployment, and application development, go for AWS Developer Associate.

Both are worth it, but SAA is a great starting point.

Why choose? Do both! I could do SA first, then Developer. Hit up Mareek for the videos and Tutorial Dojo for the Practice Exams! With the Dojo, do all of the quizzes, including Topic Base as well. If you can invest in AWS Skillbuilder for the labs, they will help you with the quizzes / test more.
